Oliver Torres turned on the style at Vicente Calderon Stadium with a beautifully weighted lob over Astana goalkeeper Nenad Eric.
Earlier goals from Saul Niguez and Jackson Martinez had already put Atletico Madrid in the driver's seat in the Champions League Group C tie, and if Galatasaray holds onto the three points against Benfica, the Spanish side will grab first place on goal difference.
Skipper Gabi brought the ball forward on a counter-attack and then eased a through ball into the box for Oliver, who was advancing on his right. The 20-year-old steadied himself before floating the ball into the net, showing composure that belies his years.
