On Sunday, the last four matches of the 1st round of the Spanish La Liga championship were played.
At the "Wanda Metropolitano" stadium, the Madrid "Atletico" team started the season with a victory. Diego Simeone's players defeated Madrid's "Getafe" in a tough battle.
In the 23rd minute, Alvaro Morata put the hosts ahead. It turned out later that this was the only goal that determined the winners of the match, although the intrigue did not disappear with this goal.
In the 38th minute, "Getafe" was left to play with ten men, as Jorge Molina received a red card from behind. However, after four minutes, the teams were even again as "Atletico" newcomer Renan Lodi earned two yellow cards in a few minutes.
