Atlético Madrid 1-1 Getafe: Player Ratings

Starting XI:

Oblak

Aside from the occasional effort from outside of the area, Oblak had little to deal with for much of the match. He couldn’t stop Enes Ünal’s thumping penalty in the 83rd minute, preventing his clean sheet. 4.5

Molina

Much of Atlético Madrid’s attack originated on the right side. Molina’s crosses were not always on the mark but he added much needed service into the box. His chemistry with Marcos Llorente has to improve. 6

Savić

Was frequently the first defender to dart from his line forward to pressure players like Borja Mayoral and Enes Ünal. Imperious in the air, winning nine headers. 6

Hermoso

Made multiple smart tackles and important clearances, sacrificing his body and taking no nonsense. The center-back’s first-time passes also served to break lines and open up play. 6.5

Reinildo

A strong defensive performance from the Mozambican. His tackling and ability to draw fouls and enabled the pace of the game to be in Atlético’s favor. 5.5

De Paul

The riskier of the two most-central midfielders, frequently sending in a ball over the top or taking players on with his dribbling. When successful, de Paul was able to quickly shift the point of attack forward. 5

Koke

Presence was felt defensively in a compact midfield, diving in for the occasional tackle or interception. When in possession, Koke switched play well and his long ball deliveries were precise. 5.5

Lemar

Lively from the opening minutes, especially with his off-the-ball movement. The Frenchman floated back and forth into areas of space. With the ball, Lemar looked to cut inside in search for a pass or a shot and led all players with three attempts on target. His long-distance effort in the 60th minute resulted in Ángel Correa’s rebound goal after David Soria couldn’t gather the shot. 6.5

Correa

Went knocking on Soria’s door in the first half with multiple successful dribbles along the endline. Cut outside on Mauro Arambarri and unleashed a fierce effort that Soria watched out of play. Once again, the World Cup winner found himself in the right place at the right time, picking up Soria’s save and thrashing the ball into the top netting immediately before he was subbed off. 7

Griezmann

Two early opportunities but a bit more subdued than in recent matches. Griezmann paid his dues by holding up play and picking out passes, but Saturday was far from his most dominant day. 4

Morata

Had a goal disallowed for offside in the 20th minute and a strong penalty claim denied after getting tangled up with Djené Dakonam. 4

Subs:

Carrasco

Had a promising run and dribble late on, including a flick past Djené, but his end product has completely disappeared. 4

Llorente

Caused some trouble on the flank, but only after Getafe found an equalizer against a desperate Atlético side. 5

Saúl

Caught in an awkward position going for a header in the box and was called for a handball and a penalty that Ünal converted. 3.5

Memphis

Came on with seven minutes remaining in regular time. Picked up a yellow for arguing with the referee Mateu Lahoz and simply did not have enough time to do real damage. 4
