A goal of Álvaro Morata In the 54th minute it allowed an Atlético de Madrid team to achieve victory that was not very good in the first half and much more in tune in the second against a brave and impetuous Granada but without a goal.
Granada started the game better and dominated in the first quarter of an hour, although they only caused concern with a shot from the Argentine Lucas Boyé that went astray. Atlético de Madrid monopolized possession as the minutes passed, although they were slow and erratic in circulation against a Granada team that was always well positioned. At half an hour the visitors appeared on the attack for the first time with an individual play by Rodrigo Riquelme that ended with the ball in the hands of the Argentine goalkeeper Augusto Batalla. The shot hit the crossbar in the Frenchman’s subsequent attack Antoine Griezmann It was canceled due to a previous foul by Marcos Llorente. The colchoneros improved towards the end of the break and Morata looked for the goal with a header but without aim, an option answered in the last part of the first half by a deflected shot from afar by Gumbau.
The start of the second half for Atlético was something else, as they were much more incisive and committed to almost scoring the goal in just five minutes through the Brazilian. Samuel Lino and Rodrigo De Paulthe two players who came off the bench at half-time.
The sensations turned into a goal in the 54th minute with a shot from Morata after Griezmann’s cross for the 0-1, although the play was analyzed for several minutes in the VOR Room due to a possible offside of the attacker that did not exist, according to first the assistant and then the technology. With the score in favor, Lino forgave the 0-2 in the next action against a successful Batalla. Then he marked Saúl Ñíguez also with a header, although this time there was no doubt that it was offside and it was disallowed.
