Villarreal and
Atletico Madrid ended in a draw 2: 2 in a match of the 20th round of the Spanish La Liga . The “Mattresses” scored an early goal for “El Madrigal” when Angel Correa did not leave chances to Jeronimo Ruli with a shot from distance.
In the next minutes, however, the boys of Diego Simeone played more defensively. In the 22nd minute Villarreal received the right to execute a penalty after a game with the hand of Toma Lemar. Gerard Moreno stood behind the white dot, but Ian Cloud saved his shot. Just a minute later, Danny Parejo scored and the goal was canceled due to an ambush.
However, in the 29th minute Parejo crossed from a foul and Pau Torres caught the ball for 1: 1. In the 31st minute Manu Trigeros shot dangerously and his shot went out. In the 58th minute Gerard Moreno assisted the left back Alberto Moreno, who brought Villarreal forward in the result with a kick on the ground. Atletico restored the tie in the 67th minute. Jodfri Kondogbia shot from the edge of the penalty area for 2: 2. At the very end of the match, the midfielder received a second yellow card and left Atletico with 10 people.
Thus, Atletico broke its series of 4 consecutive losses and is in fourth place in the standings with 33 points. Atletico’s next match in La Liga is against Valencia, while the “yellow submarine” is visiting Elche.
