Once the deadlock on the pitch was broken by the wind, the game was completely in the hands of Atletico Madrid. After all, the strength of promoted Ma Eibar is already very limited, coupled with the two counter-attacking swords of Feng Quan and Griezmann, it is really difficult for Atletico Madrid to lose.

In the 28th minute of the first half, Feng Quan broke through to the corner of the big penalty area on the left side and accurately sent the ball to the feet of Mandzukic in the middle of the penalty area.

Mandzukic, who was facing the goal, could hit the goal by himself, but when he saw Griezmann ambushed outside the penalty area out of the corner of his eye, he chose to pass the ball without hesitation.

Griezmann, who was outside the penalty area, made a slight adjustment after receiving the ball, and curled a curling ball with the inside of his left foot to make the score 2-0.

Fifteen minutes later, after Feng Quan picked up the ball on the left side of the field to attract the attention of several defenders, he suddenly found Griezmann on the right with an accurate long pass.

Griezmann received the ball and cut inside the middle, but after the defender followed him inside, he suddenly passed the ball to the open space on the right flank. Juanfran stopped the ball at high speed and sent a straight cross into the middle of the box.

The next moment, Mandzukic, who had been lying in ambush in front of the goal, jumped high and struck a beautiful header into the top left corner of the goal.

After the change of sides, Atletico Madrid, who were leading by a large score, gradually slowed down the pace of the game, after all, the advantage of three goals was enough to ensure that the team won the game, and there was no need to continue to chase and play hard to prevent unnecessary injury attrition.

As the game entered the second half of the second half, Diego Simeone sent Raul Jimenez on again to replace Mandzukic, as he did in the first round of the league.

The reason why Diego Simeone made such an adjustment is partly to give the new signings the opportunity to work out when the overall situation is decided, and on the other hand, it is also out of consideration to protect Mandzukic. After all, as a fulcrum striker, Mandzukic has to fight with defenders almost every time he attacks, so going off the court early can also avoid injuries to a certain extent.

However, Mandzukic, who was substituted, did not grasp the deep meaning of Diego Simeone. In his opinion, the first substitution of himself in two consecutive games, and the style of play of Raul Jimenez, who was also similar to his own, is a sign that the manager does not trust his ability enough.

Although the newcomer Mandzukic did not show obvious dissatisfaction when he came off the field, deep down, the seeds of dissatisfaction with Diego Simeone were quietly germinating.

…………

As Atletico Madrid gradually slowed down the pace of the game, the visiting Eibar's offensive in the front court gradually improved. However, against arguably the strongest backline in Europe, they struggled to create a real threat in the opposition box.

As a result, Eibar's offensive has improved, but more often than not, it has been a cost-effective break for its attack with long-range shots from the periphery.

Just when the confidence of Eibar's players was fading as the game time went by, goalkeeper Moya, who had been pinned on by Diego Simeone before the start of the season, gave a big gift to the other side.

In the 26th minute of the second half, Eibar striker Angel Rodriguez shook off Cork in the middle of the field before striking a slash from 267 metres from goal.

Angel Rodriguez's shot was powerful, but the line of the shot was a bit off-target, so it wasn't very difficult for the goalkeeper to defend.

It's a pity that Moya, who was already waiting on the ball road, appeared as a "butter hand" as if he was "possessed" by Butters when he was about to catch the ball, and "leaked" the ball into the net.

Just three minutes later, Angel Rodriguez dribbled to the edge of the box before striking again.

Although Moya did not play the "butter hand" scene again this time, the football that he hit to the left side of the penalty area was grabbed by Dani Neto, who was previously ambushed near the corner of the large penalty area on the left.

With most of Atletico Madrid's attention focused on Angel Rodriguez, who shot the goal, and Moral, a high-pitched striker in front of goal, Dani Neto's win was followed by a direct face for goalkeeper Moya, who had abandoned the goal.

If Dani Neto had stopped the ball and hit the ball straight away, the chances of scoring would have been at least 60 per cent, but the youngster, who had joined Eibar on loan from FC Barcelona, opted to tweak his shot from a better angle.

And just as Dani Neto was making adjustments, goalkeeper Moya chose to abandon the goal without hesitation.

Although Moya's choice to attack was the right choice, it was a pity that his attack did not touch the football, and instead threw Dani Neto, who was holding the ball, directly into the box.

With the "Toot ——! After the whistle, the referee awarded a penalty to Eibar without hesitation, and also showed a red card to Moya, who had ruined the opponent's "obvious goalscoring chance".

Although the Atletico Madrid players immediately surrounded the referee to argue, they could not change the result of the referee's penalty and red card. In desperation, Diego Simeone had to send the "best goalkeeper in the Portuguese Super League" Oblak again to save the game.

…………

Oblak only moved his body inside the goal to signal that the referee was ready.

It is no exaggeration to say that the nearly 50,000 spectators in the stadium and the tens of millions of Atletico Madrid fans who followed the match via televised and webcast were all focused on Oblak.

If Oblak fails to prevent the opposition from finding the back of the net, Eibar, who have one more man, can use their numerical advantage to launch an onslaught against Atletico Madrid.

Although Atletico Madrid's defence is arguably the strongest in Europe, it will be difficult to hold on to a one-goal advantage with almost 20 minutes left and one man missing.

After seeing Oblak's signal, the referee blew the whistle for a penalty.

The next moment, Angel Rodriguez, who had already scored a goal, took two steps forward and slammed the ball to the left side of the goal.

Just when all the Atletico Madrid fans who followed the game thought that their team's lead would be only one goal left, Oblak, who had turned the tide in the UEFA Super Cup, once again seemed to be a god soldier, and a beautiful sideways save blocked the ball with one hand.

Eibar, who failed to take advantage of the penalty opportunity to close the score gap, not only failed to pose a substantial threat to Atletico Madrid's goal in the subsequent game, but also seized the opportunity to set the score at 4-1 in the 41st minute of the second half.

In the end, with the strong firepower of the risk trio and the power of substitute Oblak to turn the tide, the defending champion Atletico Madrid finally won two consecutive La Liga victories.
