opportunities created by Arsenal could not break down Jan Oblak goalkeeper.
Atletico who played more sharp and effectively able to achieve victory through
Diego Costa single goal at the end of the first half.
Atletico who only need a goalless draw able to force Arsenal to play in low
tempo. Sluggish game that makes both teams can not create many opportunities
and it is profitable for Atleti.
Arsenal's efforts grew heavier because of their captain, Laurent Koscielny
suffered an injury and had to be pulled out when the new game entered the
seventh minute. His position was subsequently replaced by Calum Chambers.
Arsenal slowly began to master the game and press Atleti. But they can not afford
to break through the ranks of defense Atleti who return to play very
disciplined. Many times Arsenal tried to get into the dangerous arena Atleti,
but could not find a gap.
Atleti can actually score goals through super-fast Atleti attack at the end
of the first half. Atleti goalkeeper long pass, Jan Oblak, failed to anticipate
well by the Arsenal defense and Antoine Griezmann can control the ball.
Griezmann then gave local bait to Diego Costa who ran from the middle and Costa
was able to finish the chances into goals. The first half closed with the score
1-0 (aggregate 2-1).
In the second half, Arsenal increasingly intense attack. Wenger made only
one substitution in the second half, pulling out Jack Wilshere to be replaced
by Henrikh Mkhitaryan. This step is taken to sharpen Arsenal attacks that
always failed to produce goals.
The athletes who are now in their comfort zone can withstand the tangle.
They can also launch dangerous counterattacks every time they see an
opportunity. But until the fight was over, the score 1-0 remained.
With these results, Atletico qualify for the 2017-18 Europa League final.
