Colchoneros suffer two disallowed goals and record their second draw in La Liga 2024/2025
Atlético Madrid drew 0-0 with Espanyol in their third-round match of La Liga 2024/2025 at the Civitas Metropolitano. Fans following the football match live score saw that Atlético’s goals were disallowed for offside despite scoring twice, frustrating Diego Simeone’s team as they sought their second win of the season.
Atlético dominated the match from the outset, creating several good chances early on. Riquelme and Samuel Lino were key in attacking plays, but a lack of precision in finishing and a solid performance from goalkeeper García kept the scoreline at bay. Espanyol managed to hold firm and also threatened with quick counter-attacks. Atlético thought they had taken the lead in the 55th minute when Riquelme scored, but after a VAR review, the goal was ruled out for offside. Atlético continued to push and came close again with Griezmann, who missed a clear opportunity in front of goal.
In stoppage time, Riquelme found the net once more, but the goal was again disallowed for offside, much to the frustration of the fans. The result means Atlético has now drawn twice in the competition and has accumulated five points, provisionally sitting in fourth place.
Atlético Madrid’s next match will be away against Athletic Bilbao, while Espanyol, having earned their first point of the season, will face Rayo Vallecano. Fans can follow the latest updates and standings on BB Score.
