In Group B of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the race for a ticket to the knockout round is becoming suffocating as both Atletico Madrid and Seattle Sounders enter the second round with the pressure of not being allowed to lose.

After the defeat in the opening match, the two teams were forced to play with a "survival" spirit, and that created an eye-catching match.

Atletico Madrid opened the scoring in the 11th minute after a clever combination. Giuliano Simeone, despite being in a good position to shoot, still chose to pass the ball to Pablo Barrios to easily score. A decision that demonstrated teamwork and efficiency.

In the second half, the La Liga representative continued to maintain the pressure. In the 47th minute, Le Normand assisted Axel Witsel to double the gap. Although just four minutes later, Rusnak scored to reduce the score for Seattle Sounders, all hopes of the American representative were quickly extinguished.

Just five minutes later, Barrios completed his double, sealing a 3-1 victory for Atletico Madrid.

This result helps coach Diego Simeone and his team revive their chances of passing the group stage, while also putting Seattle Sounders in a difficult position.
