Atletico wins without Álvarez, Elversberg beats Leverkusen in 1st ever Bundesliga match
MILAN (AP) — Atletico Madrid triumphed 3-1 over Sevilla on Saturday, putting its on and off-field issues aside. Julián Álvarez, the Argentine forward, did not feature in the match as he was absent from the team's training sessions throughout the week. Álex Baena and Ademola Lookman scored twice each as Atletico took a 3-0 halftime lead.
Cole Campbell, an American forward, scored his first league goal for Elversberg during a 3-2 victory over 2024 champions Bayer Leverkusen. The match marked Elversberg's first-ever appearance in the Bundesliga.
