Saul Niguez and Antoine Griezmann scored as Atletico Madrid saw off Champions League Group A rivals Borussia Dortmund 2-0.
Match Events
33' GOAL! Atletico 1-0 Dortmund (Saul)
Atletico work the ball out left to Filipe Luis. His cross is beautifully dummied by Griezmann and Saul arrives late into the box to shoot first-time. Sancho attempts to clear but can only arrow the ball up into the net. Game on now!
80' GOAL! Atletico 2-0 Dortmund (Griezmann)
Atletico win the ball on the edge of their box and Martins pops the ball inside Griezmann. He powers through the split Dortmund defence, fends off Akanji and rolls the ball calmly past Burki. It's been a textbook Atletico performance.
Match Report
Dortmund's 4-0 rout on matchday three condemned Diego Simeone to the heaviest defeat of his Atleti tenure, but Los Rojiblancos got back on track in style at Wanda Metropolitano.
Saul's goal after the half hour – a crisp finish at the culmination of a slick team move – opened the scoring, and despite a string of superb saves from Roman Burki, Griezmann wrapped up the points with 10 minutes remaining.

2-0 down to Atletico, for our first loss of the season, Dortmund fans in the away end sing (roughly translated): "And if you lose the game, we'll still stand here and sing for you Borussia, and whatever happens, we'll stand here until death and sing for you Borussia BVB"

Atlético has played a fantastic game , with 12 shots the first time , and 7 on target , many occasions. Borussia didn't show the interest in winning , maybe they are thinking about the weekend's game with Bayern

Interesting stats from the Atletico 2 Dortmund 0 match. And Atleti hardly had the ball. Look at those attempts and shots on goal!
