Samou Lino put the hosts ahead just before the break after a superb pass from Griezmann. Already in the second half, Memphis Depay increased the advantage of the mattresses with his header. Atlético Madrid host Valencia this Sunday with a desire for revenge. The Valencian team beat the Coljoneros at Mestalla (3-0) in the first round and now the team led by Cholo Simeone will strive to respond to the blow with a game in front of their fans. It won’t be easy because Valencia is going through a great moment with four straight wins in the tournament. Ruben Baraja’s side will also look to take advantage of the physical wear and tear that the Colchoneros may experience after competing in the Copa del Rey for a week.
