Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid 1-3: Ruthless Atleti Punish 20-Shot Hosts

Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid ended 1-3 at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on Saturday night, and the scoreline says almost nothing about how even the football was. Alex Baena scored twice either side of Ademola Lookman's finish to put the visitors three goals up inside 33 minutes, and Miguel Sierra pulled one back on 66. Yet Sevilla ended the night with 20 shots to Atlético's 12, and lost the expected-goals count by four hundredths of a goal, 0.89 to 0.93. This was not a match one side dominated. It was a match one side finished.

Sevilla 1-3 Atletico Madrid: Final Score and Result

Atlético Madrid beat Sevilla 1-3 in Round 3 of LaLiga on Saturday 29 August 2026, leading 0-3 at the interval and conceding once after it. Alex Baena opened the scoring in the fourth minute from a Lee Kang-In pass, Ademola Lookman made it two on 26 after Pablo Barrios set him up, and Baena closed the burst on 33 with Marcos Llorente providing. Miguel Sierra's 66th-minute finish, assisted by Robbie Ure, was the only goal Simeone's side conceded all evening.

The shape of the night was set early, and it was not the shape you would guess from the result. Atlético lined up in a 4-4-2 and held 68% of the ball before half-time, but they barely needed it: three shots on target in the first half, three goals. Sevilla, in a 4-2-3-1, actually out-shot them over the same 45 minutes, eight attempts to seven, four of those on target — and Jan Oblak saved every one. The hosts went in at 0-3 having had more of the good moments and none of the goals.

Who Scored in Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid?

• 4' — Alex Baena, Atlético Madrid (assist: Lee Kang-In)
• 26' — Ademola Lookman, Atlético Madrid (assist: Pablo Barrios)
• 33' — Alex Baena, Atlético Madrid (assist: Marcos Llorente)
• 66' — Miguel Sierra, Sevilla (assist: Robbie Ure)

Baena's brace either side of Lookman's goal is the spine of the match: three goals in 29 minutes, each one supplied by a different teammate — Lee Kang-In, then Barrios, then Llorente. Sevilla's reply arrived 33 minutes after Atlético's third, and it was the only one they found.

Key Moments and Turning Points

The turning point was less a moment than a decision. Once the third goal went in on 33 minutes, Atlético stopped chasing the game and started managing it. Their entire second half amounted to five shots, two on target and not a single corner. Behind the ball they were relentless: 19 clearances after the break against Sevilla's five, six interceptions against Sevilla's none, and 75% of their second-half tackles won.

Sevilla, for their part, had the second half and got almost nothing out of it — 55% of the ball, 12 shots to five, 23 touches in the Atlético box to seven. Of those 12 attempts, exactly one found the target, and that one was the goal: Sierra converting Ure's pass on 66 minutes, in the same minute Simeone withdrew Lookman and Llorente for Arnau Ortiz and José Giménez. Sevilla created no big chances at all after the interval.

From there the hosts went to the crosses, and the crosses did not land: three of 19 found a teammate after the break, a 16% success rate. Nine of their 20 shots on the night came from outside the box and another six were blocked, which is what a side looks like when it has run out of routes through. The closing 10 minutes brought three of the night's four yellow cards, and they did not all fall the same way: Sevilla's Isaac Romero was booked on 89 and Gabriel Suazo at 90+1, while Atlético's Marc Pubill went into the book at 90+5. The fourth had come earlier, Marcos Llorente cautioned for Atlético at 45+4, which leaves the card count level at two apiece. Sevilla did not put another shot on target after Sierra's.

Match Stats: Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid

That table holds the entire argument. Expected goals rated it 0.89 to 0.93, about as close to level as a three-goal margin ever gets, and both teams put five shots on target. The separation sits in the line underneath: expected goals on target, which grades a shot by how good it was once it reached the goalkeeper. Atlético's five on-target efforts were worth 1.24. Sevilla's five were worth 0.68. Same volume, close to double the quality of strike.

Sevilla's problem was never access. Twenty shots, 11 of them inside the area, 28 touches in the Atlético box against 16 the other way — they got into the right places repeatedly. It was the end of the move that failed. Nine attempts flew off target, six were blocked, and only one of the 20 beat Oblak. Atlético took 12 shots, nine of them from inside the box, and scored with three of the five that were on target. That is the whole distance between a promising position and a goal.

What This Result Means for the LaLiga Table

In the live LaLiga table, Atlético Madrid currently sit second on seven points from three matches, seven scored and three conceded, inside the Champions League league-phase places. Sevilla currently sit fifth on six points from three, six scored and five conceded, in the Europa League league-phase zone. Both positions reflect the live table rather than the standings at this final whistle.

The more useful read is what the performance itself showed. Atlético won a near-level game 1-3 without ever leading the shot count, which is a repeatable trick only for as long as the finishing holds. Sevilla have six goals from three matches and generated 20 attempts in this fixture alone: on this evidence their issue is conversion, not creation. Sierra's goal was their only shot on target in the entire second half. You can check every side's goal difference in the full LaLiga standings.
