3:00am, 22 September 2025【Football】

A match in the fifth round of La Liga began, and Atletico Madrid challenged Mallorca. Atletico Madrid had a poor record at the start, with only 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in the first four league games, winning only one match against Villarreal. In the mid-week Champions League, Atletico Madrid lost to the powerful Liverpool, which is a pity. After all, they were defeated in stoppage time. Now that we return to the league, Atletico Madrid faces Mallorca, which is hard to come by. As a result, Atletico Madrid still lost the chain and only got a draw. Atletico Madrid won only 1 win in 6 games in all competitions!

Atletico Madrid has a 442 formation. Alvarez and Laspadori are paired with two forwards. Nicholas Gonzalez, Barrios, Cork and Simeone Jr. formed four midfielders. Hanzko, Longle, Lenorman and Marcos Llorente started with four defenders. Oblak serves as the starting goalkeeper. Griezmann, Thurot and Gallagher were on standby on the bench.

The match just started and Atletico Madrid almost scored a goal. Barrios made a long shot, and the goalkeeper threw the ball and the ball hit the post and bounced out. Majorca escaped. In the 13th minute, Atletico Madrid got a penalty kick. Alvarez took the penalty, but the penalty he sent was saved. It's unbelievable that such opportunities have been wasted. In the 36th minute, Kumubra was replaced due to injury and Torre came on as a substitute. Four minutes later, Gonzalez tried a long shot, but there was no strength. The goalkeeper easily confiscated the ball. Mallorca almost had an own goal, but fortunately the goalkeeper reacted quickly to block the ball. At the end of the half, the score is still 0-0! Atletico Madrid failed to score five shots in the first half, while Mallorca only had one shot in the first half.

The second half will change sides and fight again. In the 52nd minute, Alvarez turned around and shot in the penalty area, but the ball was saved by the goalkeeper. In the 62nd minute, Simeone made a large-scale substitution adjustment. Griezmann, Throot and Molina came on as substitutes, with Simeone Jr., Alvarez and Laspadori being replaced. Seven minutes later, Griezmann's push shot in the penalty area was too straight and the goalkeeper confiscated the ball.

In the 72nd minute, Throot made a foul and was sent off with a red card. Atletico Madrid fights one less person. 7 minutes later, Atletico Madrid, who had a disadvantage in numbers, actually scored a goal! Llorente broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot low. The goalkeeper saved the ball. Gallagher followed up and the ball entered! However, Atletico Madrid was not happy for too long. In the 85th minute, Mallorca equalized the score! Vedat Muric scored a header and saved the team. In the end, Atletico Madrid 1-1 Majorca.
