Atletico Madrid Stumbles Again: Held 1-1 by Elche

Atletico Madrid failed to secure win for the 2nd consecutive match in La Liga after 1 - 1 draw against Elche on Saturday.

Early lead squandered

Atletico seemed on course for victory when Alexander Sorloth scored just 8 minutes in converting precise pass from David Hancko to put the home side ahead.

Elche strikes back

However Rafa Mir ended swift counterattack in the 15 minute leveling the score. Elche held firm for the remainder of the match frustrating the home team.

Slow start for Simeone

This result leaves Atletico with just 1 point from their first 2 game following surprising 2 - 1 loss to Espanyol in the season opener.

Meanwhile Elche returning to La Liga this season, celebrates 2 consecutive draw showing early resilience in the top flight.
