After a dominant start from the hosts, Cadiz stunned by taking the lead in the 12th minute when Chris Ramos' cross from the right found left back Lucas Pires in the six-yard box to knock home from close range.

Roger Marti doubled the lead for the visitors with a lobbed shot after goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma's superb long clearance in the 27th minute before Correa pulled one back for Atleti with a header from the centre of the box five minutes later.

Nahuel Molina grabbed the equaliser almost immediately after half-time with a powerful shot that ricocheted off a defender, and Correa scored again following a rapid breakaway to seal the win for Diego Simeone's side in the 65th minute.

Atletico next host Dutch champions Feyenoord in the Champions League on Wednesday.
