Midfielder Rodrigo de Paul put Atletico in front in the 15th minute with a goal from outside the box after landing a clearance, scoring just under the bar as his strike deflected off one of Athletic defenders.
Athletic levelled just before halftime through Nico Williams after Antoine Griezmann lost the ball through a careless pass, but Angel Correa restored the lead for Atletico in the 52nd minute and goalkeeper Unai Simon made it 3-1 with an own goal.
