Costa sets UEFA Super Cup record with first minute goal against Real Madrid

Diego Costa wasted no time in putting Atletico Madrid ahead against their city rivals Real on Wednesday, making UEFA Super Cup history in the process.
All eyes were on Julen Lopetegui's Madrid in the clash, as they took the field for the first time in a competitive game since losing Cristiano Ronaldo.
Lopetegui has thus far declined to replace the Portuguese with a new striker, but Costa's early exploits may just make him think twice.
