It was the Spanish side who initially took the lead, with former Sporting captain Hjulmand providing the assist in the 42nd minute for 16-year-old center-back Jorge Domínguez to open the scoring.

In the second half, Marmoush struck twice in quick succession, netting in the 57th and 58th minutes, both assisted by Semenyo. Ait-Nouri then sealed the comeback in the 90th minute.

Hjulmand has been impressing the Atlético faithful, who have already dubbed him the 'new Tiago,' referencing the Portuguese midfielder who was a key figure for Atl. Madrid for nine seasons between 2009 and 2017.
