Fermin Lopez had one effort saved and missed another. Antoine Griezmann repeated this at the other end. Lamine Yamal then hit the woodwork. Giuliano Simeone handed the hosts the lead before half-time. Marcus Rashford equalised within minutes. Nico Gonzalez received a straight red for a cynical tackle on Yamal deep into first-half injury-time. Gerard Martin got a reprieve for a nasty tackle on Thiago Almada, as VAR got involved to downgrade his sending off to a yellow. Juan Musso made two splendid stops from Ferran Torres. Joao Cancelo's saved shot rebounded towards Lewandowski, who used his shoulder to bundle home.
Atletico Madrid were reduced to ten men.
