Atletico Madrid recovered from their midweek setback in the Champions League with a comfortable 2-0 win over Real Sociedad at the Wanda Metropolitano.
After their embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund midweek, it looked as though Diego Simeone's men were in for another frustrating night with Real Sociedad remaining stern in defence in the early stages of the game. However Atletico were finally able to get the breakthrough on the stroke of half time.
Some lovely improvisation from Angel Correa on the right hand side to keep hold of the ball allowed him to square it across the face of goal and, with the help of a deflection, the ball fell to Diego Godin who smashed the ball home from close range to send his side into the break with a 1-0 lead.
