Match Details:
Atletico Madrid triumphed in El Sadar to keep the pressure on neighbors Real for the second spot in LaLiga. It was a team effort from Simeone's man in a game where Osasuna had little to no opportunities.
Cata Diaz was the only exception to an otherwise same prefered eleven of Simeone. He replaced Godin. The start was promising for both sides with three early chances. The first, for Atletico, with a dangerous cross into the area from Arda which was destined for Falcao but Andres Fernandez arrived first. 3 minutes had elapsed and the next chance fell to Oier who got his head on a cross before in the 7th minute a Masoud shot scraped the post.
Slowly Atletico grew in to the game but they had to wait until the 34th minute before opening the scoring. Gabi found Koke unmarked and the spain youngster picked out Diego Costa who made it 1-0 to the visitors.
That was how the first half ended and Atletico Madrid made sure the game was beyond the team from Pamplona when in the 47th minute, Diego Costa on one of his mot successfull grounds struck again. A free kick delivered by Koke was met at the back post by Miranda who headed the ball back across the goal for the Brazilian to fire home. The goal really knocked the stuffing out of Mendilíbar’s side and put Atletico well and truly in the driving seat.
Atletico were looking to kill the game by scoring the third goal and a header from Falcao went close and Koke almost finished things off with a spectacular effort that the keeper deflected wide. The visitors managed to play out the rest of the game and collect an important 3 points coupled with a clean sheet on the road. A good result at a difficult ground like El Sadar for Athletico.
