Yesterday, Jan Oblak was also in action, as his Atletico suffered a defeat against Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of the Spanish Copa del Rey semifinals. This was the first loss for Oblak and his teammates in the last month.
The only goal of the match came in the 25th minute when Alex Berenguer converted a penalty kick after a foul in the home team’s penalty area, securing the victory for the Basques. Although the Rojiblancos were awarded a penalty in injury time, Alejandro Hernandez overturned his original decision after reviewing the video footage. The captain of the Slovenian national team made two saves in this match.
The second leg, where Diego Simeone’s team will aim for a place in the grand final, will take place at Estadio San Mames on the last day of this month.
