There was absolutely nothing this match didn’t have.
Early on in the match, Luis Suarez missed a chance from eleven yards to give Atlético the lead. However, after the goals of Correa and Cunha, that missed penalty seemed to become a footnote in the match.
But if Atlético has been a fortress in recent years, this season it is a sandcastle. In just twelve minutes, Getafe turned the 2-0 deficit into a 2-3 lead.
Unal made good use of two penalties for the visitors, but Correa still made it 3-3 deep in the extra time of the first half.
Fewer goals after half time but just as much drama. Felipe got a red card just before the hour, which meant that Atlético had to fight the battle with one soldier less.
Only joker “Supermario” Hermoso struck again just before the whistle. The defender may drop a stitch defensively, but he gave Atlético a delirium, just like against Valencia, by scoring the 4-3.
Another thing: Yannick Carrasco missed the entire spectacle due to a corona infection.
