The Colchoneros led twice during regulation time, but were caught as many times. Dominated at the start of the match, they first opened the scoring in the 39th minute following a cross from De Paul deflected by Griezmann then a header by Rüdiger before being caught by Lino (39th). Atlético headed into the break with its goal in front but was weighed down by a poor outing from its goalkeeper Oblak, who extended a free kick from Modric into his own goal (45th+1).
In the second half, taking advantage of an error by Lunin, the Real Madrid goalkeeper, Morata put Simeone’s men back in front on the scoreboard (57th). Real pushed to equalize and Rodrygo found the bar (75th) before two decisive saves from Lunin against Griezmann (79th) and Morata (81st), which allowed his team to stay in the race before Joselu’s goal ( 82nd) which offered Real the extension.

It was then that Griezmann, honored before kick-off for becoming Atlético’s all-time top scorer, chose to shine. Taking advantage of Vinicius losing the ball, the Frenchman went off-center in the Real area to then place a perfect shot under Lunin’s bar (100th).
Overjoyed, Griezmann celebrated his 175th goal with Atlético by taking off his jersey, then kissing the badge, before receiving a logical yellow card. But this time, Real was unable to come back and the Colchoneros even scored a fourth goal thanks to Riquelme, well offset by Depay (119th), and acquired their qualification for the quarters like FC Barcelona, a little earlier , on the ground of Salamanca (D3, 3-1).
