Highlights

Extending an unbeaten run on their own turf that now features four wins this season, Atlético de Madrid added another victory to their strong home record in the Primera Division. The breakthrough arrived in the 48th minute when Julián Álvarez scored, set up by an assist from Alejandro Grimaldo. Both creators of that decisive moment earned standout recognition, with Julián Álvarez receiving an 8.2 rating and Alejandro Grimaldo taking an 8.
Atlético arrived on matchday 10 having finished fourth last season with 69 points, maintaining a rich vein of scoring form that includes a recent Champions League win against Manchester United. Deportivo reached the capital trying to reverse a slide that left them without a victory across their last five outings in all competitions. Despite registering more shots on target and accumulating a higher expected goals tally, the visitors could not overturn the deficit.
Following this outcome, Atlético sit second in the 20-team table with 24 points, trailing the league leaders by just two points. Deportivo occupy tenth position with 11 points, leaving them 16 points behind the summit.
Atlético next play away at Levante on 31 October.
