Uruguayan Diego Godin scored the winner five minutes from half-time. The Atletico defence then screened out Spurs to protect the lead. Skipper Gabi's free-kick was flicked on allowing Godin to tap home from close range.
Spurs, who lost their opening ICC game 2-1 to Italian champion Juventus on Tuesday, came close a couple of times but were denied by magnificent shot-stopping from Slovenian goalkeeper Oblak.
Oblak, who kept 24 clean sheets for Atletico in last season's La Liga, pulled off a point-blank save to block a shot from Ryan Mason in the second half, and minutes later kept out new Dutch signing Vincent Janssen's curling free kick too.
