Atletico Madrid's Kevin Gameiro: Scores Penalty Kick in Atletico Opener
Gameiro scored Atletico Madrid's only goal in a 1-1 draw with Alaves on Sunday.
Analysis:
Starting in place of the suspended Antoine Greizmann, Gameiro made the most of his opportunity and converted a penalty kick goal in stoppage time. The opportunities were plenty for Gameiro, but the results were few in his season debut for Atleti. Coming off of a solid 16 goal 2015-2016 season with Sevilla, Gameiro should find himself with plenty of chances to put up similar numbers this year. Atletico Madrid figure to factor in the La Liga title race, and Gameiro will be right at the center of their offensive production as the season continues.
