Match Reports
Diego Godin and Antoine Griezmann kept Atletico Madrid's challenge alive as they kicked off a gigantic week in LaLiga's title tussle with a 2-0 prevail upon Girona at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Coach Diego Simeone had promised at the weekend that Atleti would battle champions Barcelona "until our last breath" and Godin's scrappy 76th-minute header kept them in the chase.

39' CLOSE! Koke's shot hits the bar
Koke unleashes a rocket from outside the crate that hits the underside of the bar before bobbing out to Saul who fouls Alcala while attempting to head the rebound on target. What a goal that would have been from Koke however!
76' GOAL! Atletico 1-0 Girona (Godin)
GOALLLL!!! Upon audit, VAR confirmed that a defender's leg simply kept Griezmann onside before he headed the ball over to Godin who finished into an unfilled net. That appears to be harsh on Girona who have played incredibly well, however it was the correct call at last. Atletico Madrid 1-0 Girona.
94' GOAL! Atletico 2-0 Girona (Griezmann)
GOOALLLL!!!! Griezmann was played behind the defense by Vitolo on the counter-attack, and the previous stared down Gorka before chipping it over the goalkeeper's head and into the back of the net with only seconds left! Atletico Madrid 2-0 Girona
