Atlético Madrid 3-1 Sevilla

The LaLiga clash took place on 29 August 2026 at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium in Sevilla. Both sides entered the match looking to assert themselves early in the season, and the atmosphere was electric as the home fans filled the historic venue.

How it unfolded

The opening minutes belonged to Atlético Madrid. In the 4th minute Álex Baena opened the scoring with a right-footed strike from a difficult angle on the right, finding the bottom left corner after a clever assist from Lee Kang-In. The early goal set the tone and forced Sevilla onto the back foot.

Sevilla struggled to respond, and Atlético doubled their lead in the 26th minute. Ademola Lookman received a pass from Pablo Barrios on the left side of the box and fired a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner, making it 2-0. The precision of Lookman’s finish left the home defence exposed and gave the visitors a comfortable cushion.

Just seven minutes later, Baena struck again. From outside the box he unleashed a right-footed shot that curled into the bottom left corner, this time after a timely pass from Marcos Llorente. The 3-0 advantage at the 33rd minute effectively put the match out of Sevilla’s reach and highlighted Atlético’s attacking fluidity.

Just before the half-time break, Marcos Llorente was shown a yellow card in added time (45'+4") for a bad foul. The booking did not alter the momentum, as Atlético headed into the break with a three-goal lead.

Sevilla’s first response came early in the second half. In the 66th minute Miguel Sierra cut inside from the centre of the box and slotted a left-footed shot into the top left corner, assisted by Robbie Ure. The goal gave the hosts a glimmer of hope and reduced the deficit to 3-1.

The remainder of the game saw a flurry of late bookings. Isaac Romero was cautioned in the 89th minute for a bad foul, followed by Gabriel Suazo receiving a yellow in first-minute added time (90'+1"). Atlético’s Marc Pubill was also booked in the final moments (90'+5"). No further goals were added, and the match ended 3-1 in favour of the visitors.

Standout performers

Álex Baena was the clear attacking hero for Atlético Madrid, netting two goals and providing a link in the build-up for both. His first-half brace, assisted respectively by Lee Kang-In and Marcos Llorente, demonstrated his composure and finishing ability from both tight angles and distance.

Ademola Lookman contributed the second goal, displaying clinical finishing after a well-timed service from Pablo Barrios. His movement inside the box created space that Sevilla struggled to close down.

For Sevilla, Miguel Sierra offered a bright moment, scoring the solitary home goal with a precise left-footed finish after Robbie Ure’s assist. The goal highlighted his ability to find pockets of space even when his side were under pressure.
