Despite being goalless, the two teams provided a great deal of excitement for the audience in Malaga, as per La Liga's official website. Los Nervionenses shortage in offense was complemented by their great defense to preserve the draw.

Meanwhile, Los Colchoneros nipped UD Las Palmas, 1-0, in their season opener at their home field of Vicente Calderón Stadium last Saturday.

French forward Antoine Griezmann provided the lone goal of the match during the opening minutes via a left-footed free kick shot, as reported by SkySports.

It was a back-on-forth affair from there as Diego Simeone's defensive tactics held on until the final whistle and Atleti coming away with their first victory of the season.

The predicted result is another low-scoring 1-0 win for Atletico Madrid. Sevilla's tough defense will be tested against the Madrid squad and will endure in the first half. But Simeone's boys will find a way to penetrate the goal at least once in the second half of the match to earn a second straight win.

Sevilla FC starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Beto; Tremoulinas, Blonbou, Rami, Coke; N'Zonzi, Iborra; Vitolo, Banega, Reyes; Gameiro

Atletico Madrid starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Oblak; Gimenez, Juanfran, Luis, Godin; Mendes, Gabi, Torres, Koke; Martinez, Griezmann
