Anatomy of a Goal: Thiago Almada opens his Atleti account against Osasuna
Atlético de Madrid on Saturday night put in something of a vintage display against Osasuna, shrugging off early controversy around a disallowed Álex Baena goal to win 1-0 after Thiago Almada — another new arrival — tapped in Giuliano Simeone’s cross in the 69th minute.
