Depay-Griezmann, Atlético's winning ticket

Atlético de Madrid got the better of Rayo Vallecano this Wednesday for the 20th act of La Liga (2-1).

While Garcia (42e) replied to Reinildo (35e) in the first period, the Matelassiers made the difference at the very end of the match thanks to Depay, on an assist from Griezmann (90e+1).

A real liberation for the Colchoneros who thus regain third place in the ranking previously held today by Barça, who fell earlier in the evening to Osasuna Pamplona (1-0).

An advantage taken over the Catalans on goal difference, seven points behind Real Madrid, who still have a game in hand, and eight points behind leader Girona.
