Partey instrumental as Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid to win UEFA Super Cup

Atletico secure the bragging rights over their city rivals when they edged them 4-2 to set their season on the right path.

Diego Costa’s early strike was cancelled by Karim Benzema after 27minutes. Sergio Ramos shot Real Madrid into the lead from the penalty spot before Diego Costa pulled parity with his second on the night.

Thomas Partey was however introduced into the game in extra time and made wonders by setting up Saúl with a tailored measured pass for the latter to volley to register his side’s third.

Koke wrapped up victory with the fourth for the Los Rojiblanco as Atletico Madrid clinched their third UEFA Super Cup title having previously won in 2010 and 2012.
