Atletico Madrid 1 Eibar 1: Garces rescues draw for Simeone's men

Atletico Madrid could be seven points off the LaLiga summit on Sunday following a draw with Eibar.

Borja Garces scored with almost the last kick of the game to secure a 1-1 draw for an underwhelming Atletico Madrid against Eibar at the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday.

The visitors looked like they had snatched maximum points after 87 minutes when Sergei Enrich prodded home from close range.

Substitute Garces – making his LaLiga debut – spared Diego Simeone's blushes, though, lashing in from 15 yards, just moments after Diego Godin had thundered a header against the crossbar.
