TEAM RATINGS

Rostov

• 35S. Dzhanaev
  Made some decent saves in the first-half to deny Atletico and always had to be on his toes as the visitors dominated.
• 23M. Mevlja
  Stayed strong in a five-man back line that almost kept Atletico out.
• 4V. Granat
  Did well to keep Griezmann and Torres quiet for the majority of the game.
• 44César Navas
  Kept Torres quiet, made sure that he didn't get on the end of any crosses.
• 30F. Kudryashov
  Defended well, was constantly kept on his toes by Carrasco who wandered into many different positions.
• 8I. Kireev
  Struggled to contain Juanfran down the right-hand side who was constantly going forward.
• 89A. Erokhin
  Played more like a centre-back than midfielder, sitting deep to prevent Atletico from creating too many chances.
• 16C. Noboa
  Forced Oblak into his first save late in the second half with a decent long range effort.
• 84A. Gaţcan
  Worked hard in midfield, lucky to get away without a yellow card after several fouls in the first-half.
• 20S. Azmoun
  Had Rostov's best chance of the game in the first-half, after good play from Poloz, but his shot was poor.
• 7D. Poloz
  Worked hard up front, did very well to link up with Azmoun for the hosts excellent chance to score in the first-half.

Atlético Madrid

• 13J. Oblak
  The Atletico keeper was a passenger for the majority of the game, but had to remain alert when Rostov broke on the counter-attack.
• 2D. Godín
  Had little work to do defensively, only threatened in the first-half when Poloz broke free.
• 3Filipe Luis
  Played more like a left winger then left-back for the majority of the game, providing another attacking threat.
• 20Juanfran
  Constant threat down the right, putting crosses into the box and linking up well with Correa. Provided the assist for Carrasco's goal.
• 15S. Savić
  Barely troubled in defensive and provided a height threat at set pieces for Atletico.
• 10Y. Ferreira Carrasco
  Always looked dangerous, firing shots from all ranges and finally got his reward in the second-half.
• 6Koke
  Made sure that Rostov saw little of the ball and pulled the strings in middle for the Spanish side.
• 14Gabi
  Constantly wanting the ball and covered well defensively when Rostov broke on the counter-attack.
• 11Á. Correa
  Missed two excellent chances in the first-half which he really should've converted, slow start to the second half saw him replaced.
• 9Fernando Torres
  Linked up well with the midfield, but never produced any real moments of magic.
• 7A. Griezmann
  A quiet game for the Frenchman. Saw plenty of the ball but didn't have any chances himself and sat deeper and deeper as the game went on.
