Follow usAtletico Madrid won vs. Man United 2-0 to earn their first points in the Champions League this season and extend their undefeated head-to-head record to 5 games.
The Red Devils finished the match with 10 players as Michael Carrick is under growing pressure for his position, as he demanded before the clash that his footballers keep it tight in the opening stages, but nothing like this happened.
Atletico opened the score in the 53rd second when Alex Baena was found behind Manchester United’s defense, and he didn’t miss. At the end of the 1st half, the Spanish team scored again, but VAR disallowed the goal for a handball.
In the 70th minute, the Red Devils were very close to tying the result, but Bruno Fernandes shot struck the crossbar.
The crucial moment in the 2nd half came in the 74th minute when Leny Yoro received a red card and left the English team with 10 men on the pitch. Only 5 minutes later, the home side doubled its lead as Ademola Lookman, who entered the pitch a few minutes earlier, scored after securing a rebound.
