Jonathan David Nets First Atlético Madrid Goal in Shutout Victory Over Real Sociedad

Jonathan David scored his first goal for Atlético Madrid in the 90th minute of a 3-0 win against Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Atlético Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 3-0 at San Sebastián on Sunday, with all three goals arriving in the final 10 minutes of play. Alejandro Grimaldo broke the scoreless deadlock in the 84th minute by converting a penalty. Jonathan David, who entered the match as a substitute at the hour mark, doubled the lead in the 90th minute. Giuliano Simeone completed the scoring with a third goal during added time.

According to ESPN, David joined the club on loan from Juventus on transfer deadline day. Coach Diego Simeone noted that David's inclusion provided the team with more depth and "calm finishing" in the absence of injured forwards Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sorloth. The victory followed a triple substitution that saw David, Alex Baena, and Kang-in Lee enter the game as Simeone sought to increase rhythm and pressure.

Atlético Madrid's upcoming schedule includes a midweek home fixture against Osasuna followed by a derby against Real Madrid next weekend. The win against Real Sociedad saw the visitors capitalize on their second-half transitions after a first half in which both sides were limited to two chances each.
