The resulting penalty was converted by Vini Jr. in the 52nd minute to level the match. Three minutes later, Arbeloa's men completed the comeback. Valverde chased down a loose ball inside the box against Giménez and, after winning it, finished with the outside of his right foot in a one-on-one with Musso.

Second consecutive brace for Vini Jr.
The minutes ticked by, and in the 66th minute, Atlético equalized with a spectacular goal from Molina.

It marked the Brazilian's second brace in two consecutive matches.

Five minutes later, Valverde was unjustly sent off for attempting to retrieve a ball from behind Baena. A yellow card would have sufficed, but Munuera Montero showed a red.
