Atlético failed to win at home for the first time in a very long segment

In the 17th round of La Liga, Atlético Madrid hosted Getafe. The game took place in the middle of the week, on Tuesday, December 19.

The first half went two ways for the Mattress Makers. In the 38th minute, central defender Savic received a second yellow card and left his team in the minority in the middle of the first half. However, in the 44th minute, Antoine Griezmann put Atlético ahead with an assist from Riquelme. The teams went into the break with the hosts having a minimal advantage.

Immediately after the break, in the 53rd minute, Borja Mayoral scored a goal to level the score. It took ten minutes for Atlético to take the lead again, with Alvaro Morata scoring the goal. Six minutes later, Antoine Griezmann scored a double and the scoreline became very comfortable for the Mattress Makers. However, they were not destined to hold on to the victory. In the 86th minute, Arnaiz Oscar scored his goal, and in the 90+3 minute, Mayoral made a double and brought the match to the draw.

Getafe saved the match in the final minutes. For the first time in 20 matches, Atlético failed to win at home. Simione's team ranks third with 35 points.
