The early strike mattered because it forced Sevilla to chase from almost the first whistle, handing Atlético Madrid the game state they wanted. Turning that start into a three-goal first-half cushion, with A. Baena adding a second of his own, meant a single reply would not be enough. M. Sierra's finish after the hour gave the hosts a foothold and a reason to keep pouring shots forward. It also showed how much work remained. With both sides finishing on five shots on target, the difference was how quickly the visitors had already put the match beyond an ordinary comeback.
