Alavés vs Atlético Madrid

At the Estadio Mendizorroza, Deportivo Alavés staged a spirited showing to earn a 1–1 draw with Atlético Madrid—marking yet another disappointing result for Diego Simeone’s side, who remain winless after three La Liga matches. The encounter encapsulated early-season tensions and uncertainty for both squads.

Atlético grabbed the lead in dramatic fashion in the 7th minute, when Giuliano Simeone reacted swiftly to a rebound off Thiago Almada’s shot and buried a composed finish in the box. The goal offered a glimmer of hope that Atlético might turn their fortunes around—at least briefly.

However, Alavés responded just seven minutes later when Nahuel Tenaglia was hauled down in the area by Alexander Sørloth, leading to a penalty which Carlos Vicente confidently converted. The swift response underlined Alavés’s resilience and the defensive fragilities Atlético have displayed this season.

The second half was marked by intensity and drama—including an 11-minute pause when play was halted due to a medical emergency in the stands, but neither side managed to find the decisive goal once the action resumed. Despite opportunities, Atlético couldn’t break through, and Alavés held firm to claim a well-earned point.

Diego Simeone, in his post-match comments, downplayed the significance of points at this stage, instead focusing on improving performance levels. For Atlético, the draw deepens early concerns—they have only two points from three games, positioned 14th in La Liga, and still without a win in 2025–26. Alavés, on the other hand, showed fight and served notice that they can trouble established sides at home.
