A thrilling encounter at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano saw Atletico Madrid claim a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Alaves. Atletico dominated possession, controlling 61% of the ball, but Alaves, despite a valiant effort, struggled to breach the Atletico defense.
The decisive moment came in the 54th minute when Luis Suárez scored for Atletico Madrid. The goal, after an assist from Kieran Trippier, was a perfect example of Atletico's relentless attack.
While Alaves pressed forward, they had trouble creating scoring chances, and there were a few exciting moments where goals were nearly scored but disallowed due to VAR.
Atletico's approach was strategic, relying on their midfield dominance and effective substitutions. Alaves, conversely, looked to counter-attack and capitalize on any mistakes.
Both teams demonstrated great determination, but the superior ball control and clinical finishing of Atletico proved decisive in this close-fought La Liga match.
