The Madrid team celebrated in one of the hottest places in Spain - against Betis in Seville (2:0), in the last match of the 10th round. Interestingly, it was Atletico's first away triumph this season.
The match at "Kartuha", where the home team is playing while the construction of the new "Benito Viljamarin" is underway, was decided at the start and end of the first half with occasional masterstrokes by Giuliano Simeone and Alex Baena.
A heated atmosphere in Seville welcomed the "colchoneros", but Simeone quickly silenced the home fans.
Son of Diego Simeone he caught the volley masterfully and checked Pau Lopes in the 4th minute.
Manuel Pellegrini's team tried to get back into the game quickly, but at the end of the first half, the home team suffered another shock and scored another brilliant goal from the visitors from Madrid.
Betis continued to try, having 12 shots on goal, Atletico none, but somehow it seemed that Ćolo had locked up this game in time - the best chance for the "green and whites" came from Abde Ezalzuli when he "shaken" the crossbar from a free kick.
