Alavés beat Atlético de Madrid 2-0 the match corresponding to the 32nd day of LaLiga EA Sports which was held in Mendizorroza. In this way, the albiazul team broke his three-game losing streak and the practically sentenced permanence.

The first minutes were intense and the game stopped quite a bit. In the midst of this confusion, Alavés managed to get ahead on the scoreboard: Benavidez made the score 1-0 with a good shot from outside the area.

Boosted by the goal scored, the Vitoria-Gasteiz team was able to increase the gap, but Simeone’s shot from the six-yard box went high over the crossbar.

Atlético de Madrid did not feel comfortable in the first half. However, the colchoneros had a clear chance in the 32nd minute, but goalkeeper Sivera deflected Lino’s shot. Already in the stoppage of the first half, the referee awarded a penalty in favor of Alavés due to a handball by Azpilicueta inside the area, but finally changed his decision after seeing the play on the VAR. Azpilicueta clearly hit the ball with his hand after having previously hit it with his head. In the matchday 31 of the EA Sports League between Athletic Club and Villarreal, in a similar play, the referee gave a penalty in favor of the Castellón team. The next day, the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) issued a statement explaining the decision made by the referee in San Mamés, but in the clash between Alavés and Atlético de Madrid it seems that what was explained in that note was of no use.

At the restart, Atlético came out with a more offensive character. For its part, Alavés remained firm in defensive tasks. Furthermore, the team led by Luis García Plaza had options to hurt the rival through counterattacks, although the Albiazules players lacked finesse in the last few meters.

The best chance that Atlético de Madrid had in the entire match came in the 77th minute, although Sivera stopped Lino’s shot from inside the area. Shortly after, Sivera once again prevented the colchoneros from scoring by deflecting a cross shot from Correa.

When Atlético pressed the most, Alavés’ second goal came at half-time. A great counterattack was culminated by Luis Rioja with a spectacular volley that slipped into Oblak’s corner and thus closed the match.

In the end. victory and three points for Alavés (2-0).
