The Colchoneros won two to zero against Osasuna, with Griezmann and Riquelme scoring.
Osasuna could do little to tie or get into the game. Both teams were left with 10 players, Morata and Ávila were sent off.
Goal from Osasuna, which the referee says will not be valid. The VAR is going to check it, it was the product of a corner kick. Witsel fell, Osasuna players protest a foul by Budimir. Apparently it's not going to be a goal.
Once again Osasuna suffers because they came close to tying and the rojillos made 2 changes. Apart from Atleti, they make one more change with Riquelme for Llorente.
The Colchoneros slowed down near the 30th minute, with Osasuna very disorganized on the field. But the rojillos, by playing on the wings, seek to cause danger.

Diego Simeone spoke at a press conference leaving a phrase that turned him upside down, because the most recent victory against Madrid generated this comment from Cholo:
“I don't start to interpret what others think, I interpret what I see, the team made a great game defensively and offensively, starting tomorrow Monday the boys will go to school wearing the Atleti shirt.”
Atelti is going to tighten its pants because the Champions League week against Lazio was tough. This league doubleheader, first Osasuna and then Cádiz. On Wednesday, October 4, he will receive the Dutch champion Feyenoord at home and Real Sociedad at home at the weekend. Cholo's rotations will begin in this first game to avoid injuries.
Álvaro Morata is the man of fashion, the player who is best in Cholo's ranks, with 4 games he has scored 3 goals. The start of the tournament for the Spanish striker has been a gem, because in so few games he has generated many scoring chances in such a short time and already having 3 scores in his account, 2 super special ones with the team that saw him born in Spain as the real Madrid.
The Spanish offensive midfielder, Aimar Oroz, 21, is the element to follow for Osasuna, with 1 goal and 1 assist in the last 5 games. Tying numbers with the majority of his teammates, such as the Croatian Ante Budimir, who has the same goals and assists. Below him is Nacho Vidal, having a full-back position, battling with his goal, being in the scoring position.
Osasuna comes from drawing against Sevilla and adding 2 painful defeats in the league against Barcelona and Osasuna. They barely add 7 points being in 11th position, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. Their last victory was against Valencia where they won 1-2 with scores from Nacho Vidal and Aimar Oroz.
Atlético de Madrid is living the best dream, because they won the first chapter against the eternal city rival, Real Madrid. A surprising score of 3 goals to 1, with 2 magical goals from Álvaro Morata, another from the Frenchman, Griezmann.
The colchoneros are placed in position 5 with 10 points, 3 points, 1 draw and 1 loss with 13 goals for and 5 against. Those led by Cholo have good numbers. However, they are 6 behind Barcelona and 5 behind Madrid to be among the first 3.
