Two matches were replaced on Tuesday in the Spanish football league. Atlético Madrid and Granada also won at home.

Atlético Madrid and Sevilla would have already competed in the first round of the Spanish Football Championship 2020/21. However, the red-and-whites were given an extra week off due to their protracted international season due to their Europa League victory. The meeting was replaced on Tuesday night after the Atlético track was cleared of snow in recent days.

At the meeting, the will of the list leader Atlético was more prevalent: there were not many situations, and the people of the capital quickly took the lead: at the end of a great action, Ángel Correa found the guests ’gates. And Atlético is quite excellent in keeping the advantage: Diego Simeone’s team has only scored six goals in the league so far, and when he took the lead, he also won.

Sevilla did their best to ruin Atlético’s fantastic balance, the visitors also hit the goalpost, but Atlético scored again: Saúl Ñíguez set the 2-0 final score with a shot from outside the box.

Atlético increased their lead at the top of the table, although they still played two fewer matches than Real Madrid or Barcelona. Due to the postponed start of the season, it is difficult to talk about an autumn first, but it is certain that Atlético will take the first place at half of the tournament.

Seville’s good series, however, was interrupted: the Andalusian team was defeated again after six unbeaten championships, leaving Villarreal and Real Sociedad in sixth place. In another match-off on Tuesday, Granada defeated Osasuna, who were eliminated.
