A hat-trick by Alexander Sørloth helped Atlético Madrid finally shake off Club Brugge and advance to the Champions League round of 16.

The La Liga side won 4-1 on Tuesday to complete a 7-4 aggregate victory. But the wide margin on the night didn’t tell the full story of Brugge’s resilience over two legs. A 3-3 draw in Belgium last week had seen Brugge come back from two goals down and then level again in the 89th minute.

In the second leg in Madrid it fought back once more after Sørloth fired Atlético in front in the 23rd minute. However Joel Ordóñez levelled the match and tie 13 minutes later.

Diego Simeone’s team went 2-1 ahead through Johnny Cardoso early in the second half and Brugge’s resolve was finally broken.

Sørloth completed his hat-trick with goals in the final 15 minutes to secure Atlético’s place in the next round, where they will face either Liverpool or Tottenham in the last 16.
