Last weekend, a solitary strike from Radamel Falcao scored for Atletico Madrid was enough to win the match against Sevilla and for me to win the bet I placed on Atletico Madrid with odds from William Hill.
In the match played against Sevilla, Los Colchoneros were frustrated most of the time by the outfit of Unai Emery; the vital goal of the match came in the 12th minute with the help of Radamel Falcao. Raul Garcia also tried his chances with a volley sent from the edge of the penalty area, and that was the point when the Colombian striker stuck out a leg and turned the ball into the net past Antonio Beto.
It appeared like the visitors were comfortably to see out the victory, but in the dying minutes they were given a late scare. In injury time, Ivan Rakitic crashed a free kick off the crossbar, enabling Atletico to maintain the pressure on Jose Mourinho’s players in second place in the league.
With Diego Simeone’s men running out a neat 1-0 victory over Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Atletico Madrid remain just three points behind rivals Real Madrid in La Liga.
Result: +12 units, bet won
