Atletico Madrid recovered from the rout suffered against Paris Saint-Germain in the first round of the Club World Cup. This Thursday (19), the Spanish team beat Seattle Sounders 3-1 at Lumen Field Stadium in Seattle, United States.
Pablo Barrios (2) and Axel Witsel scored for Atletico. Albert Rusnák scored the goal of the home team, not yet scored in Group B.
Despite the victory, coach Diego Simeone was not completely satisfied with the field because his team wasted several chances of expanding the score and improving his goal balance. Atletico has a negative balance of two goals.
In one of the most difficult groups of the Club World Cup, this tiebreaker criterion can be decisive in the dispute for a place in the round of 16 against Botafogo and PSG.
Atletico Madrid will return to the field on Monday (23), at 16h (Brasília), to face Botafogo, at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. At the same time, Seattle Sounders will play against PSG, the current European champion, playing at home again.
