European Round-up: Atletico Madrid's Much-Needed Win
Atletico Madrid earned a 2-0 win at Real Betis on Monday, climbing to fourth in La Liga.
Diego Simeone's side responded to last week's Champions League humiliation at Arsenal with a composed performance.
- First away victory of the season
- Second clean sheet in nine matches across all competitions
Giuliano Simeone, the coach's son, opened the scoring with a crisp volley from the edge of the box – his first goal of the campaign.
This win marks a sign of renewed defensive discipline from a team that has looked uncharacteristically fragile in recent weeks.
