• Instead of panicking after the Union goal, Atleti tightened up, held shape, and sealed the win by exploiting counter-attack moments.
• Stand-out players: Álvarez for the opener and general threat, Gallagher for the second and work-rate, and Llorente for the timely finish.
• Despite the positive result, Union’s threat on the break and the late goal for them serve as reminders: Atlético cannot switch off even when leading.
