Thiago Almada was sent off after an absurd incident | OneFootball

Shameful attitude from Almada. Half an hour into the game, with the score at 1-1, the Argentine made everything blow up. Almada, on the edge of the Atlético box, tried to dribble and lost the ball to Affengruber, who drove into the area and, with no intention of playing the ball, grabbed the Elche player and was sent off. A disgraceful action from one of the players singled out for his poor season, which left the team a man down.

An attitude from Almada that saw him sent off and left Atlético a man down for an hour against Elche. After the penalty, a clear one for holding, André Da Silva made it 2-1 after beating Oblak from the spot. A situation that will force Simeone to reinvent himself during the course of the match at the Martínez Valero and in next Saturday’s Atlético – Athletic ahead of the crucial first leg of the Champions semi-finals.
