Atlético Madrid move back above Real Sociedad to fourth spot after a 3-2 victory over Celta in the last match on Sunday evening. Yesterday the two Spanish cup finalists met, and as chance would have it the two losing semi-finalists also faced off in the Calderón stadium, the possible venue for this year’s final. Cabral headed the visitors in front early on after a poor clearance by Moyà from a Sisto corner, but Fernando Torres levelled the scores soon afterwards with a spectacular over-head kick. The action continued, Jozabed hitting the post with a low shot and Torres firing a penalty against the bar after Roncaglia fouled Carrasco, and with a quarter of an hour left on the clock Guidetti restored the lead after Wass set him up. However with four minutes to go Carrasco equalized again with a first time volley, and two minutes later Griezmann got the winner after Gameiro headed back Correa’s cross.
