Late Flurry Sends Atletico Past Real Sociedad, 3-0
(MENAFN) Atletico Madrid pulled away with a trio of late strikes Sunday, defeating Real Sociedad 3-0 on the road to notch their third La Liga triumph of the campaign.
Neither side had broken through by the final stretch, until Atletico earned a penalty after Real Sociedad defender Job Ochieng handled the ball inside his own box.
Alejandro Grimaldo made no mistake from the spot in the 84th minute, opening the scoring and netting his first goal since arriving at Atletico.
Momentum swung further in the visitors' favor moments later when Jonathan David doubled the advantage, slotting home with his left foot from inside the area for his maiden Atletico goal.
The rout was complete deep into second-half stoppage time, as Giuliano Simeone capped a swift counterattacking move in the 95th minute to make it 3-0.
Atletico Madrid now sit on 10 points through five league matches, having won three, drawn one and lost one, while Real Sociedad remain stalled on seven points.
