Leganes 0-1 Atletico: Red-hot Felix assists super-sub Vitolo to seal 3 pts

  /  R47

Vitolo's second-half goal secures a 1-0 win for Atletico Madrid over Leganes.

Match Report

There were very few chances in the first half, with Morata coming closest for the away side, but both teams improved after the break. Silva hit the crossbar with a free-kick for Leganes while Felix sent his volleyed effort just over the crossbar for Atletico.

It was the substitute, Vitolo, who made the difference though and his deflected effort beat Soriano before nestling in the bottom corner to earn them the three points.

50' CLOSE! Felix misses a golden chance!

Morata puts a good cross into the box from the right and Rosales makes a diving header to try and clear it. Luckily for him, his attempted clearance bounces back off the woodwork for his team-mate to clear.
