Kieran Trippier claimed an assist in his first LaLiga game as Atletico Madrid defeated Getafe 1-0 in their season opener.
Match Report
Morata converted a cross from new signing Kieran Trippier, who impressed on his debut, 23 minutes into the first half at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Getafe's Jorge Molina and Atletico's Renan Lodi were both sent off in quick succession as events took a dramatic turn before half-time.
Match Events
23' GOAL! Atletico 1-0 Getafe (Morata)
It’s a simple finish for Morata who barely had to jump in order to turn Trippier’s pacey cross past Soria! Djene was the man marking him, but he barely put up a fight, allowing a neat finish from the centre of the penalty area.
38' Red Card! Molina sent off
Replays show that Molina stamped on the foot of Thomas, twisting his ankle horribly. The referee has rescinded the yellow card upon review, and awarded the Getafe striker and captain a red card!
42' Second Yellow Card! Lodi sent off
During an aerial duel, the LaLiga debutant climbs on the back of Suarez - sending the Getafe player to the floor and slapping him in the face in the process. The referee does not hesitate and shows him a second booking!
56' Penalty Missed! (Morata)
The Portugal international runs the entire length of Getafe’s half, dribbling past two and holding off the clutches of another as he bursts into the penalty area, falling under the weight of Raul Garcia’s presence. The referee has no doubt as he points to the spot!
Morata's effort was a good one, but his inability to beat Soria keeps him from an opening-day double.

Is it a tradition for Atletico Players to get red carded every single month?

if you want to know how bad barca board is know that they paid 120 million to Atletico to buy a young energetic player who has all the potential to be best in tge world and in exchange took a 28 year old who is surely past his prime Lord Bartomeu at his best

Since he has scored the first goal, he should allow Felix to take the Paneka, after all it's Felix that commits the Getafe defender that results to the paneka

Diego Semione, the only coach after Mourinho that can win a match by a single goal comfortably 🙌
