Atlético de Madrid rounded off a difficult week by slipping to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Real Betis.
Scorers: Giménez OG 4′
Fresh from a Champions League humbling by Lille in midweek, Diego Simeone’s side attempted to return to winning ways in LaLiga.
But they suffered an early setback as José María Giménez turned the ball into his own net after just four minutes at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.
The Verdiblancos threatened to compounded matters in Sunday’s cagey affair as loanee Vitor Roque scored from a surging run but was immediately flagged offside.
A first win over Atleti since 2019 moved Manuel Pellegrini’s side up to fifth in the table, just two points behind their visitors.
