Atlético de Madrid capped off a difficult week by losing 1-0 to Real Betis.

Scorers: Giménez OG 4′

Fresh from a Champions League humiliated by Lille in midweek, Diego Simeone’s team attempted to return to the path of victory in La Liga.

But they suffered an early setback when José María Giménez turned the ball into his own net after just four minutes at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.

The Verdiblancos threatened to make matters worse in Sunday’s cagey affair as on-loan Vitor Roque scored after a surging run but was immediately flagged offside.

A first win against Atleti since 2019 lifted Manuel Pellegrini’s side to fifth place in the table, just two points behind their visitors.
