Atletico Madrid showcased a highly coordinated and well-executed performance against Rayo Vallecano, resulting in a dominant 3-0 victory. Three different players scored for Atletico, highlighting their multiple attacking threats. The decisive opening goal came as early as the third minute through Alexander Sorloth from a precise assist by Giuliano Simeone, setting the tone for the match. The timing and accuracy of these early minutes underscored Atletico's tactical readiness and sharp offensive coordination.

Statistically, both teams fired five shots on target, but Atletico's clinical finishing was the key differentiator. Rayo Vallecano's inability to convert their chances was compounded by their lack of defensive discipline, as they conceded two yellow cards compared to Atletico’s none. The away side also committed 15 fouls, substantially more than Atletico's 8, which disrupted their ability to maintain any real momentum and allowed Atletico to control the pace of the game effectively.

Atletico's superior teamwork was further evidenced by their efficient use of set pieces, managing to earn six corner kicks to Rayo's three. Their ability to generate scoring opportunities from various situations was evident. Despite Rayo managing more shots off target (7) compared to Atletico’s five, their offensive pressure lacked precision and threat. In contrast, Atletico's seamless combination play, particularly evident in goals assisted by Rodrigo Javier De Paul and Antoine Griezmann, showcased their tactical sophistication and ultimately secured the victory.
