The game was evenly matched for the most part, with the visitors holding their own against Diego Simeone’s team but failing to find the back of the net. Álvarez did just that at the start of the second half (47′), when he capitalized on Grimaldo’s perfect assist to make it 1-0, which would turn out to be the final score. Thus, Atlético celebrated its sixth consecutive league victory, remaining on course for the title.
