Felipe solves the sudoku puzzle in the Metropolitan

• Direct Narration and statistics

The head of Felipe, a center-back who has been under suspicion for too long, was the key to open that armored gate with which Osasuna threatened the Metropolitan.

In the end, Atlético solved their doubts on set pieces, just like in the old days.

With a corner kick that undressed his rival, when he thought he had reached the shore.

It was the only concession from the guys from Jagoba Arrasate.

Enough for the rojiblancos to find a firm take-off platform.

Because to dismantle Osasuna, this stony Osasuna from Arrasate, a conscientiously assembled team that also enjoys far from El Sadar, it is not enough just to put an effort into it. It is not enough to wait for a childish oversight to open the door for you. Real Madrid found themselves at the

with a rock dressed in red, Atlético had to suffer in front of another one equipped in green, with the same arguments. For this reason, during the first half, Atlético barely tickled Sergio Herrera. From the stocky tip

, indefatigable in pressure, to the colossal central

, the rojiblancos had to sharpen their wits to find a corner to enter.

Of that first act, perhaps they were the centers of

, freed by the change of Simeone's system, with only two centers, the most reliable option of the premises.

With Carrasco in offensive tasks, along with Griezmann and Correa, the defender took charge of the left flank.

He even dared to look for surprise with a shot from the center of the field.

Your left foot can be a good resource when in doubt.

The return of Llorente

However, the best red-and-white option emerged from

only adventure

, perhaps tied up in the center of the field, perhaps lacking rhythm, after having been injured for more than a month. From his classic whip into space, the clearest occasion arose for Simeone's men.

, as active as before the break, ended up taking Herrera ahead in his attempt to finish on goal. For

, another who was returning, climbing that fence was also impossible. That first act was a game of chess in which

had to spread his tentacles to contain a furious throw from Torró.

A more impetuous Atlético returned from the locker room.

Nothing like speed and precision to disorganize a conscientious army so as not to take a step back, as was Osasuna's.

Of course, despite the spirits, the goalkeeper Herrera, always well wrapped by his guard, barely shuddered, beyond another of those lightning actions by Llorente, which he has missed so much during his absence due to injury.

Crosses without finisher

Atlético got tired of centering the area and Osasuna got tired of clearing balls. Far from feeling uncomfortable, the red defenders ended up familiarizing themselves with the matter. In search of a revolution in the Metropolitan,

,

and

and the rojiblancos took a while to adjust their gears. The stands were shaken when Carrasco took a devil out of the hat in the area. A jog here, a roulette there and, as always, a sea of ​​Osasunist legs. His shot whistled up the post.

The Belgian would have the honor of bouncing that late corner kick that put an end to the ardors.

Like in those early days of Simeone.

Felipe's head, questioned so many times for so long, solved a sudoku puzzle that seemed impossible to decipher.

A hand from Oblak certified the matter.

Many times the best solution is the most unexpected.
