The parity lasted less than a minute when Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid kicked off the 2018 UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night, when Diego Costa rammed the latter in front with roughly 50 seconds on the clock.
Indeed, Costa also picked up the assist, latching onto the end of his own headed flick before lashing a fearsome drive past Keylor Navas from the very narrowest of angles…
How about that for a flying start?
Here’s hoping the remaining 89.10 minutes are just as exhilarating.
