Torres has the chance to seal the deal but he delays his shot and in the end it's up and over the bar.

82'
Atlético Madrid
A long throw is launched into the Atletico penalty area, everyone misses it, and Oblak gratefully gathers the ball. You could feel the tension within the home stands as that throw-in came in.
