Atletico Madrid moved to the fourth position in the La Liga after securing a 1-0 tough win at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano against Osasuna.
Atletico Madrid, which hosted the game, took control with Pablo Barrios, Marcos Llorente, and Julian Alvarez securing chances to net Osasuna’s goal at different times.
The home side finally broke the tie in the 69th minute. Thiago Almada, who came into the match as a substitute, converted an assist from Giuliano Simeone into a goal just 6th minutes after he was introduced to the game.
Jan Oblak, Atletico Madrid’s save, helped his side to finish with three points after denying Ante Budimir from finding the net, ensuring that the host side wins the game.
This victory marks Atletico’s ninth win in their last ten league games at home under Diego Simeone against Osasuna and stays undefeated in their last eight domestic games when scoring first.
Osasuna has continued to struggle since the season started and has not won any of their five away matches, and has not won in their last seven outings at Madrid’s home.
