"Atletico were awarded a 15th-minute penalty when Antoine Griezmann's attempt to lift the ball over Javi Galan was blocked by the Spaniard's hand, with referee Jose Luis Guzman Mansilla pointing to the spot following a VAR review. Lookman assumed responsibility of the spot-kick and sent Aitor Fernandez the wrong way from 12 yards, though that setback seemed to spark Osasuna into life."
"Ante Budimir somehow diverted Valentin Rosier's shot towards goal wide of the mark from close range, with the Croatian then squandering another golden opportunity moments later as he dinked the ball over the crossbar after latching onto Koke's misplaced back pass. Osasuna then had a penalty of their own awarded when Juan Musso appeared to collide with Budimir, but the decision was overturned after replays showed the Atletico goalkeeper got a clear touch on the ball."
"Diego Simeone's side were made to work for their second, and it came in the 71st minute thanks to half-time substitute Sorloth, who nodded in Llorente's deflected cross at the back post. But Atletico were made to see out the final 11 minutes a player down when Llorente was shown his second yellow card for fouling Aimar Oroz on the halfway line, and despite Barja's late goal setting up a grandstand finish, it was too little, too late for Osasuna."
Atletico Madrid won 2-1 at Estadio El Sadar to record three wins from four LaLiga matches. A 15th-minute penalty was awarded after Antoine Griezmann’s attempt was blocked by Javi Galan’s hand, and Ademola Lookman scored from the spot. Osasuna responded with chances, including a close-range effort from Ante Budimir and a penalty appeal that was overturned after replays showed Diego Atletico goalkeeper Juan Musso made clear contact with the ball. Atletico added their second goal in the 71st minute when half-time substitute Alexander Sorloth nodded in Marcos Llorente’s deflected cross. Marcos Llorente was then sent off for a second yellow, and Kike Barja’s late goal created tension, but Atletico held on.
