Atlético Madrid had to swallow a late defeat at Cadiz CF in La Liga. Thanks to two goals from substitute João Felix, a 2-0 deficit was recovered, but deep in injury time it still went wrong: 3-2. At the Madrilenians, Álvaro Morata dropped out after ten minutes with an ankle injury, making the World Cup seem to have become a utopia for him. Coach Diego Simeone’s team can now lose third place in LaLiga to Real Sociedad, while Cadiz, battling relegation, climbs to eighteenth place.
After thirty seconds of play, the home team took the lead. An attack across the left side of the field could eventually be run in by Theo Bongonda. The striker, who for years caused a furore at KRC Genk, saw Morata suffer from an ankle injury eight minutes later after a game. The striker had to be replaced by Matheus Cunha and will fear that the World Cup will come too early for him. Saúl Ñíguez tried in the underprivileged first company with a shot that was saved by the home team’s goalkeeper. Ruben Sobrino had the greatest chance of the first half on behalf of the home team, but he encountered Jan Oblak from close by.

ngel Correa could have equalized after the break, but goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma had a great reflex. There were no great opportunities for a long time, but in the 81st minute it was still a hit for the home team. After a nice counterattack, Alex Fernández managed to hit the ball through the bottom of the bar. Still, Atlético did not give up and Félix managed to score the connection goal, after the Portuguese was able to tap in just in front of the goal. Moments later, the substitute was again worth his weight in gold, after he made it 2-2 with a long shot. After Félix failed to score a hat-trick, Sobrino, on the other hand, was accurate. With his belly he passed Oblak.
A very painful week for Atlético Madrid ??
