VIDEO: Thomas Partey scores for Atlético in UCL

João Félix and Thomas Partey scored second-half goals as Atlético Madrid defeated Lokomotiv Moscow 2-0 Tuesday in the Champions League.

Félix opened the scoring from close range in the 48th minute and Partey doubled the lead from Diego Costa’s pass in the 58th, giving Atlético its first win after a home draw against Juventus in its opener.

“I’m happy with the result. We knew we had to be at our best given how they close up well and make you anxious,” Atlético coach Diego Simeone said. “We had chances in the first half but in the second we were much stronger and clinical. Once we got ahead we were able to control the game well.”
