Atletico Madrid vs Villarreal

A cagey first half at the Civitas Metropolitano gave way to a more open affair after the break, with both sides eventually finding the net to finish level at 2-2. Atletico dominated possession and had the better of the chances, registering 19 shots to Villarreal's 13, but the visitors proved far more clinical in front of goal with six shots on target compared to four. Jan Oblak kept Atletico in the contest with a string of important saves, earning himself the official Man of the Match rating. The draw leaves neither side satisfied. Atletico will feel frustrated at not converting their territorial advantage into three points, while Villarreal can point to their clinical finishing as evidence they deserved something from the game. With five corners to work with, Atletico had ample opportunity to break the deadlock but couldn't quite find the finishing touch when it mattered most.

It finished 2-2 between Atletico Madrid and Villarreal at Civitas Metropolitano, a scoreline that summed up a game short on clear separation between the two sides. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Atletico Madrid holding 52% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. There were spells of pressure from both teams, but not enough to turn a share of the points into all three. Days like this are part of a long season, and how each side responds in their next fixture will say plenty about their form heading forward. Here is a closer look at how the two teams compared statistically.
