That’s Atletico. They can struggle, suffer and slip towards failure. And in the end, they win. Just like two rounds ago, Los Colchoneros turned the lost situation into a great away win against Getafe (2-1) and reached the top of the La Liga table.It didn’t seem like Getafe would allow such a comeback. They were one up after a Serbian defender Stefan Mitrovic scored an opener, a lovely header, in the last seconds of the first period.
After the break, Atletico had the initiative, but it was a goalless effort, at least until the last 12 minutes. In the 78th minute, Suarez escaped the offside trap and nailed it following the Hermoso’s assist. It was just an introduction to the total comeback. Late in the stoppage time, Sime Vrsaljko was the one to pass the ball, and Suarez reacted perfectly on a far post to bang a brace and provide his side with a last-ditch winner.
