In the Spanish "Primera" league, perhaps the most interesting 3rd round match was played on Saturday evening. At the "Vicente Calderon" stadium, players from Madrid's "Atletico" and "Barcelona" faced each other. The hosts took the lead first, but could not keep the advantage and suffered a 1-2 defeat. In the first half, both teams struggled to impose their game and the first 45 minutes were quite uneventful. In the middle of the half, Luis Enrique had to replace the injured Thomas Vermaelen with Jeremy Mathieu. The second half saw a more aggressive and faster game. In the 51st minute, after a great pass from Tiago, Fernando Torres delighted the "Rojiblancos" fans - scoring the first goal of the match and putting the hosts in front. However, Atletico did not enjoy this advantage for long, and in the 55th minute Neymar equalized. The Brazilian converted a great penalty. In the 60th minute, L. Enrique finally decided to bring Lionel Messi onto the field, who later decided the outcome of the match. After a pass from Luis Suarez in the 77th minute, the Argentinean defeated Jan Oblak and helped the Catalans secure their third consecutive victory. "Barcelona" now have 9 points and hold the top spot. Result: "Atletico" 1 - 2 "Barcelona" 51' [1 - 0] F.Torres 55' [1 - 1] Neymar 77' [1 - 2] L.Messi Turnament table:
