Guiliano’s faith moves mountains and this saves Atlético another foreign blush. El Cholito was decisive again for the fourth consecutive match, giving an empty goal to Julien Alvarez a goal which is worth three very precious points and which serves, as happened in Paris, to hide the result another bad match for the away team. Mallorca were of course not as demanding as PSG, but they left a supposed title contender who continues to feed off PSG’s almost unprecedented success in attack. Oblak and the mistakes of others.
This is what he shot today Son Moix bag a dull, but very hard-fought victory. Oblak was impeccable on the rare occasions when he had to show himself and also is at the origin of the winning goal play, fruit of Giuliano’s intuitionwho took advantage of an error Mojica to turn the first red and white shot between the three goals into a game of bingo.
The match was delayed ten minutes before requiring the goalkeepers. Was Samú Costaon a direct free kick, the one who inspected the fitness of Oblakbut the Slovenian pocketed the ball with great confidence and unceremoniously silenced the cries from the stands, who sensed the possibility of Mallorca taking the advantage on the scoreboard.
Atlético, who started in a dominant manner, slowed down this game and made a backward pass give Mallorca control of the ball and shielding behind looking for someone else’s mistake allowing them to launch a counterattack. Get lost, aware of the intentions of Simeone, He gave strict orders not to take risks along the way to avoid losses. As a result, the match ended in a stalemate..
At a pig’s trot, without a single approach worthy of mention in either area, the first half passed without the slightest shock until the 41st minute on a cross from Sergi Darder The Canadian took the lead in the zone Larine so that Oblak once again displayed his star by sending the ball to a corner and aborting the only real opportunity of a first act which ended as it had started, with a goalless draw, and with the absolute failure of Atlético’s attackcompletely sterile.

The team took a step forward after returning from the locker room, probably because Mallorca decided to wait now, and although they gained a few meters, the truth is that it did not come to fruition. The limit came when Sánchez Martínez very generously forgave Lenglet’s second yellow card after a tackle on Larin at the edge of the area. Simeone, mad, ordered a multiple change.
But it was then, with four players ready on the wing to turn the situation around, and without anything to suggest that Atlético was in a position to do any harm, that the entire squad It broke in the most unexpected way. Oblak took a long shot, Mojica was gentle against Giuliano, which won him the game, and Maffeo ran out of time to get to the crossroads. The Argentinian, hand in hand with Greif, I waited for the goalkeeper to come out and give the ball to Julián, who scored into an empty goal.

The 0-1 score on Atlético’s first shot on goal of the entire match left the stadium silent and forced Mallorca to take risks they had tried to avoid until then leaving spaces that it had effectively protected. Riquelme had the 0-2 almost immediately, but he was selfish when he only had Correa to push. Simeone almost destroyed the bench with a kick while at his side Arrasate put hot towels with Abdon And Chiquinho first and Dani Rodriguez, Antonio Sanchez And Moon After. Abdón had the tie at the very end, but Oblak closed it again, extinguishing the last chance for a Mallorca who deserved more, but ended up conceding their second defeat of the season in their stadium.
