Unexpected fiasco of Athletic before him Mallorca (1-2) with a defeat that confirms the alarming symptoms in defense and worrying in attack of the colchoneros. After marking by Cunha, those of Simeone they backed off doing the hara-kiri, putting the opponent in the game and conceding the eighth set-piece goal of the season. The lace put it Kubo with a counter that gave the victory to the vermilions, confirming that this Atlético is not the same that won the League last season.

Savic injury

Jumped the Athletic al Metropolitan with head on Port, only in this way are absences in the eleven of players explained as Luis Suarez, Lemar O Carrasco. Because Joao Felix and Trippier, which will be in Portugal, were still recovering from the discomfort they drag. Despite this, the rojiblancos came out plugged, with Cunha and Lodi very active. While Simeone digested on the bench the unexpected injury of Savic, who left with a muscle prick in the 9th minute and will miss the match of Champions, Lodi and Correa they wasted the only clear local chances in the first half.

But Mallorca He got into the game with the departure of Savic, the quarterback of the athletic defense whose loss caused the mattresses to recoil and leave possession to the rival. The vermilions were able to get ahead three times. The first through Abdón Prats, who portrayed the athletic centrals before launching a shot that kissed the stick of cloud. Three minutes later Kang In Lee he launched a shoe that miraculously took the Slovenian goal off the top, and two minutes later Lee himself launched a howitzer that brushed against the athletic squad. Simeone screamed on the bench before his team disconnected and left very angry to the locker room at half-time, which was reached with a disturbing draw.

The second half began like the first, with Atletico intensity and dominance that turned the game into a monologue. But Simeone’s men did not finish specifying their superiority on scoring occasions. They lack patience and brilliance to decipher opposing defenses. The Cádiz script was repeated, but the same outcome had to be closed because Mallorca resisted with sobriety. Cholo wanted to refine the attack with the entrance of Joao Felix and Lemar by two blurred De Paul and Griezmann. Changes that concluded with another unbeatable opportunity wasted by Cunha, as in the first half.

Goals and madness

A goal as rare as it was deserved that caused an earthquake in the game. Luis Garcia he made a triple change and suddenly Mallorca took the ball and cornered Atlético in a matter of seconds.

Draw in a crazy game that changed the scene again with both visitors. Because each goal was a terrible fit for the one who scored it, who backed down.
