🚨 Atlético climb into LaLiga top-three with win over Real Oviedo

Simeone’s Atlético Madrid didn’t flinch Saturday evening as they look to remain in the LaLiga title hunt.

In a match controlled from start to finish, the Colchoneros imposed their law and rediscovered a decisive Sorloth.

As early as the 10th minute, the Norwegian opened the scoring, well assisted by Hancko.

Ten minutes later, the former Villarreal man did it again. A brace, 2–0, and the evening was off to a great start.

The rest of the match? Oviedo tried to make their presence felt in bursts, with a classy but too isolated Cazorla.

A few shots from Viñas and Rondón, a dangerous cross from Hassan… nothing that could really trouble Oblak.

The second half was about management: Simeone rotated the squad (Griezmann and Sorloth off, Barrios and Julián Álvarez on), and Atlético slowed the pace to conserve energy ahead of three big clashes: Barça, Athletic Bilbao, and PSV.

In the standings, Atlético de Madrid climbs onto the podium with 31 points. Ahead, Real Madrid on 32 points, will face Girona this Sunday.

Barça remain at the top with 34 points after their victory against Alaves.
