Villarreal was better than Atlético de Madrid for just over an hour and, on the other hand, he ended up thanking the added point after seeing how the physique left him and left him at the mercy of a rival who had wandered through the game with more pain than glory and, on the other hand, it resurfaced in the final part of the clash to equalize it and even close to victory.

[Narration and statistics: 2-2]

With

Gerard

as the only forward available,

Emery

opted to rack up midfielders and use

Trigueros

in a somewhat more advanced position. And his team started the game well, taking over the ball and trying to encircle

Oblak

's goal . And what he found was a work of art by

Correa

who at 10 minutes intercepted a pass from

Parejo

in the dividing line of the two fields, saw

Rulli

advance and took a dry and precise shot, as if a sniper were tried, he sneaked into the yellow goal in the blink of an eye.

Far from collapsing due to the blow received, Villarreal tried to return the blow soon.

And he was about to achieve it after a center from

Moi Gómez

that

Alberto Moreno

finished off in an acrobatic way but found himself with the post.

The rebound came to

Estupiñán,

who did not know how to finalize his left-handed shot that ended up marching out.

But Atlético, who were waiting far behind, also showed signs of life just a few minutes later.

A counterattack perfectly tacked between Correa and

Cunha

left the Brazilian striker in a heads up with Rulli that, this time, the Argentine goalkeeper successfully saved after his failure in the athletic goal.

The game had no rest and Emery's team had a very close draw after the penalty indicated by

Alberola Rojas

after clear hands from

Lemar

.

But Gerard Moreno, an accurate pitcher, missed this time and his shot was rejected by Oblak.

Villarreal also had no luck in the rejection as Parejo scored with a bizarre shot with his hip.

But the VAR entered to cancel the goal by the hands of the yellow medium.

Oblak's fault

Oblak, hit shortly before, failed on the tying play.

The athletic goalkeeper did not know how to catch a lateral center and the ball fell at the feet of

Pau

that the Villarreal center-back introduced in a gentle way in the rojiblanca door.

Villarreal was being better than its rival and arrivals to the visiting area were happening.

Estupiñán caught a deep ball to assist

Trigueros in an acrobatic way,

but the La Mancha midfielder sent his shot high.

The generous work of the yellow box was looking for the second before the break against an Atlético that had problems reaching Rulli's goal.

Little more than a

Carrasco

center that did not find a finisher before the game went into halftime with everything to be decided in the second half.

Given the good result that his plan had given him in the first half, Villarreal faced the second with the same intentions against Atlético who, for now, did not touch anything despite their inferiority up to that moment.

The award arrived before the quarter of an hour of the second part.

A great triangulation by Villarreal ended with an assist from Parejo to Alberto Moreno who slipped between the Atlético center-back pair and beat Oblak with a shot below the legs that the Slovenian goalkeeper could not stop.

Once the comeback was completed,

Simeone

was in a hurry and with half an hour ahead he made a triple change with which to reactivate a dead team and that the best thing he had done up to that moment was Correa's goal.

Instead, Cholo's new plan paid off because his team only needed a few minutes to even the match.

Carrasco put a ball to Correa that the Argentine attacker did not convert when he met Rulli's foot.

On the other hand, the yellow goalkeeper could not stop

Kondogbia's subsequent shot,

which slipped under his body.

The match started again but with an Atlético that had been lost and, on the contrary, saw the option of a close victory against a disoriented Villarreal.

In fact, the game had totally changed and Emery also looked for air from the bench with the entry of

Yeremy

and

Pedraza

.

The game was nearing the end and Villarreal ran out of steam against Atlético who had the 2-3 in a shot from Lemar that the yellow defense sent for a corner for a little.

It was the last athletic opportunity against Villarreal who still had the courage to try until the end, but without luck.
