Atlético de Madrid still winless in La Liga after draw with Elche | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid disappointed again and lost more points in the La Liga dispute, with their home debut in the season ending in a 1-1 draw with newly promoted Elche this Saturday.

Atlético Madrid: wasted advantage

Just like in the debut against Espanyol, Atlético took the lead in the first half.

Alexander Sorloth received the perfect pass from David Hancko on the left channel, before shooting into the back of the net at 8 minutes.

But Rafa Mir equalized for the visitors at 15 minutes with a correct finish with his right foot after a powerful counterattack by Elche.

Another game of the day

Earlier, Mallorca and Celta de Vigo shared the points in the Balearic Islands, when Mateu Morey's equalizing goal for the home team in the final minutes of the game cancelled out Javi Rueda's goal in the first half.
