Atlético de Madrid returned to winning ways in the Spanish League by defeating Sevilla 3-1, in the third round of the competition. The match took place in Seville, capital of the Andalusia region.
Spanish midfielder Álex Baena was the standout player of the match, scoring a 'brace' that decided the result. The player, who lifted the world champion trophy with the Spanish national team in July, scored his two goals at four and 33 minutes of play.
The team managed by Argentine Diego Simeone had come from a home 2-2 draw against Villarreal in the previous round, so this victory represented a return to three points. Sevilla, for its part, arrived at this match with a 100% win record, which is now compromised by this defeat.
The final 3-1 result for Atlético de Madrid allowed the colchoneros to earn important points in the Spanish League standings, while Sevilla suffered its first defeat in the competition.
