In what was a very tactical and tense game at the top of La Liga in a battle between second placed Atletico Madrid and third placed Valencia, the hosts ran out 1-0 winners after the precision of a thunderous Angel Correa strike on 59 minutes proved the winner in a fairly uneventful clash at the top of the Spanish first division.
Atletico started the game in quick fashion, forcing the pace and pushing Valencia back early on.
The home side were certainly eager to maintain boss Diego Simeone's unbeaten record against the away side and continued to push Valencia back but with little end product bringing action from Neto.
