A round of mid-week league games this week, Atlético Madrid kicking things off on Tuesday evening with a 2-0 victory over neighbours Getafe. Griezmann started things off in the fourth minute after Guaita punched clear a corner, Gabi playing the ball back in for the French striker to beat the keeper with a shot on the turn. After that though only a long shot from Carrasco caused any problems for the visitors, and they came close to equalizing a couple of times, Scepovic bringing a two saves out of Oblak before the break, and Pedro León shooting wide when free on goal after the restart. However with full time approaching Griezmann got on the end of a cross by substitute Jackson Martínez to score his second of the evening, taking his side to the top of the table pending Wednesday’s matches.
