Debut done! Fernando Torres played his first Pre-season game in the starting eleven against Toluca, as Red-and-whites completed their first fixture. A goalless draw was the final result in the 'Centenary Match' that commemorated the 100 years of the Mexican team. The next game is scheduled on August the 1st versus S.S.C. Napoli competing for the Audi Cup in Munich.

Torres was lined-up by Simeone alongside French attacker Griezmann. Also Augusto Fernandez was a starter after ten months away from the pitch. Atlético got step by step into an always hard-fought fixture, creating danger mainly on the right wing thanks to Juanfran Torres’ breakaways.

After the break, the players of Diego Pablo Simeone came closer to the rival goal and just as the second half began, Vietto warned with a shot and a corner kick bounced by Gaitán. Nevertheless, the clearest opportunity would come from Thomas Partey in 59', with a hard shot from the top of the box cleared by Talavera, but the score was unchanged.
