Sometimes life is better backwards. This is what happened to Atlético in the play that opened the scoring. Sorloth launched Giuliano And when little Simeone reached a pass position The one who expected the ball was neighborhoods And not the Norwegian striker. The auction of neighborhoods that the squad sought hit the crossbar before entering. The canterano pointed out the temple, as if saying that you have to have a head to look for the shot.
Barrios scored two goals, the first and the last and the best of the game was chosenprobably for those goals, although he deserved it for many more things. Next to him was Koke, who was in charge of keeping the position and allowed him to reach the area more and carefree a little more than what happened behind him. It is likely that Barrios will end up following the captain’s steps and end his career being a “5” of those who keep the site and put order. But for now, even if it is trained to direct the team, it is more profitable near the area. He only lacked the goals asked for Simeone and Koke and against the Sounders scored two.
They are the same that he has marked in the last two years and achieved what he was not able to achieve Julián Álvarez. The Argentine striker He was close to the goal, but in the first great play of the game he wanted to adjust so much that the ball was stuck to the post. He could have marked penalty after the referee pointed out after a Giulian fall in the area. But the VAR warned him of something and he, after reviewing it on the monitor, said there was nothing you know why. He also gave the Argentine what seemed like a safe goal to Sorloth, but the Norwegian striker sent the ball over the crossbar.
Atlético found the second goal in a play similar to that of the first. This time it was Paul who saw the arrival of Llorente Through the center, but Marcos’s shot hit the crossbar and went out. As the play came from a corner, the two centrals were still there. Normand saved the ball from the goal and Witsel finished off his head to expand the rojiblanca advantage.
The Seattle Sounders and Rusnack did not give up, the Slovak, put the 1 on the scoreboard and the nerves in Atlético’s body. It cost the rojiblanco team to maintain the rhythm of the first minutes, the high pressure that moved the sounders in their area, and were close to scoring the second, but Ferreira was offside.
At that point Barrios had already marked his second goal with a subtle blow with the interior that gently sent a ball that flew to the bottom of the goal. The best of the game.
