Girona 1-1 Atletico Madrid: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Atleti Falter in 1st Leg of Cup Tie

Honours are even after the first leg of Atletico Madrid's last 16 Copa del Rey tie with Girona, as Los Rojiblancos were held by a spirited homes side at the Estadi Montilivi.

Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring after nine minutes, before Alexander Lozano restored the parity 25 minutes later with a speculative effort.

There was a touch, well a finger tip of fortune to Griezmann's goal, as goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz nudged his well-taken effort on to the bar, where it bounced off onto his foot, and into the net.

And it was another goalkeeping mishap that got the Blanquivermell back into the game, after Antonio Adan failed to deal with a cushioned half-volley from Alexander Lozano, only pushing it upwards into his own net.
