Atlético went ahead in the 52nd minute thanks to a nice goal from Angel Correa (2-1), and was successful in making the break with an unfortunate own goal from goalkeeper Unai Simon (80th, 3 -1).
The match was interrupted for a few moments at the end of the first period when Nico Williams reported having been targeted by racist chants from Madrid supporters.
