  "account": "Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman scored twice as Atletico Madrid triumphed over Sevilla 3-1 in a La Liga match. The Spanish club took an early lead in the fourth minute through Alex Baena, who capitalized on a Kang-In Lee assist. Lookman then doubled Atletico's lead in the 26th minute, slotting Pablo Barrios' pass into the bottom-left corner of the net. The Nigerian forward demonstrated his attacking prowess throughout the game, causing problems for Sevilla's defense with his movement and threat. Earlier, Lookman saw an effort from outside the box blocked by a Sevilla defender. Baena added his second goal in the 33rd minute, providing a fine finish from the edge of the penalty area to extend Atletico's lead to 3-0 before halftime. After the break, Sevilla made a comeback, reducing Atletico's advantage to a single goal in the 66th minute. Miguel Sierra capitalized on a rebound inside the box to equalize. However, Lookman was substituted moments later, and Atletico manager Diego Simeone brought on Arnau Ortiz as the visitors adapted their attacking strategy. The goal for Lookman signals a promising start to his Atletico career, with the Nigerian forward playing a key role in the team's strong opening to the Spanish football season.",
