16' GOAL! Atletico 1-0 Huesca (Griezmann)
Just a second of the season for Griezmann, and he really needed that. He took up an excellent position in the centre of the penalty area and couldn't possibly miss on the end of a wonderfully unselfish pull-back from Costa.
29' GOAL! Atletico 2-0 Huesca (Partey)
Partey is picked out in all sorts of space from about 30 yards out, and no one from the visitors closes him down, affording him all the time he wants to shoot... and shoot he does!
He takes a touch forward to better the angle, before guiding a perfect effort into the far corner! Unstoppable!
33' GOAL! Atletico 3-0 Huesca (Koke)
Following a VAR review, it is determined Correa was not offside, and the goal will count! It's credited to Koke, who had no thought of scoring when he chipped that ball in over the top.
Match Report
Atletico Madrid warmed up for their clash with Real Madrid in style as a rampant first-half display saw off LaLiga strugglers Huesca 3-0.
Antoine Griezmann started the rout as Atletico Madrid prepared for the upcoming derby against Real Madrid with an emphatic 3-0 LaLiga win over Huesca on Tuesday.
In their first top-flight meeting with the visitors, Diego Simeone's side ran riot in the space of 17 first-half minutes to put the result beyond all doubt.
Griezmann opened the scoring in the 16th minute when he tucked in Diego Costa's cut-back, Thomas Partey then getting in on the act with a sublime long-range finish.
Koke's VAR-awarded third piled further misery on Huesca soon after, as Atleti warmed up for Saturday's Madrid derby at the Santiago Bernabeu in emphatic fashion.
