MADRID (Reuters) – Manager Diego Simeone’s son Giuliano netted his first LaLiga goal for Atletico Madrid and Alexander Sorloth also scored to secure a 2-0 win over Las Palmas on Sunday.
Nahuel Molina’s long ball up the right flank helped Giuliano Simeone break the visitors’ high defensive line and the 21-year-old sprinted towards the six-yard box and finished with his right foot in the 37th minute.
Sorloth doubled their lead in the 83rd minute with a calm left-footed shot from Rodrigo De Paul’s defence-splitting through ball.
Atletico, third in the table with 23 points from 12 matches, ontinue their league campaign at Mallorca next Sunday, after Wednesday’s Champions League clash at Paris St Germain.
