Jan Oblak saved his team and the three points

Atlético Madrid won 2-1 at home to Almeria in the 16th round of La Liga. Just a few days ago, Atletico lost 0:1 to Barcelona, but they immediately got back on track.

Inside just 6 minutes of play, Atlético managed to score. Antoine Griezmann completed a valuable attack, but after VAR intervention, his goal was disallowed for offside.

Ten minutes later nothing could save Almeria. The hosts went ahead in the result as Alvaro Morata broke free from the opposing defense to find himself alone against the goalkeeper and made no mistake for 1-0.

In the middle of the first half, Madrid struck a second blow at the opponent. Marcos Llorente assists Angel Correa who took advantage of the good pass.

After the break, Jan Oblak continued to have a lot of work. The Slovenian managed to save what he could, but in the 62nd minute he was helpless when Leo Baptistao scored with a great shot.

In the 79th minute, the Brazilian got a perfect chance to draw the score, but Jan Oblak this time, managed to neutralize him.
