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.
