Atletico Hit Four Past Real Madrid To Lift The UEFA Super Cup



Atletico Madrid came out on top in extra time in the all-Madrid UEFA Super Cup final, beating rivals Real 4-2 in a thrilling encounter in Tallinn.
Diego Costa put Atletico ahead after just 52 seconds with a fine effort on the half volley from an acute angle, but Gareth Bale's superb right-footed cross was finished off by Karim Benzema's header on 27 minutes to level things up.
