Ten-man Atlético hold Stuttgart 1-1 after Hjulmand red; Bayern next
Post
📰 Down to ten men after Hjulmand's red card, Atlético held on for a 1-1 draw at Stuttgart.
📌 Key points
⚽ Leweling's deflected strike put Stuttgart ahead on 36 minutes.
🎯 Álvarez equalised in the 47th minute from Lookman's cross.
🟥 Hjulmand was sent off in the 64th minute for a challenge on Stiller.
🧱 Atlético survived more than 25 minutes with ten men.
🇰🇷 Lee Kang-in, who started the first two games, stayed on the bench.
📝 What happened
⚽ Atlético were under pressure from the start at the MHPArena on 20 October, with Oblak saving from El Khannouss inside the first minute. In the 36th minute Leweling's long-range shot deflected off Hjulmand and in.
🎯 Two minutes after the restart, Julián Álvarez met a cross from substitute Lookman first time and fired into the top corner.
🟥 In the 64th minute Hjulmand caught Stiller with a high challenge and was shown a straight red card. Atlético then held out against Stuttgart's pressure for more than 25 minutes.
🗣️ Oblak said a point was better than none, but admitted Stuttgart pressed well early and Atlético could not play out from the back. On the red card, he said going to ground carries a risk when another player gets to the ball first.
📊 By the numbers
• Atlético: 4 points from 3 Champions League games; Stuttgart: 7
• Hjulmand sent off on 64 minutes; Atlético held out for 25+ minutes
• Atlético have won one of their last six Champions League away games
🔭 Why it matters
UEFA has yet to set Hjulmand's ban. Cuti Romero missed this game injured, and losing Hjulmand too would stretch Simeone's midfield for matchday 4 against Bayern Munich at the Metropolitano on 3 November (local time). In LaLiga, Atlético visit Levante on 31 October.
