Jostled in Galicia and almost harmless for a long time, the Matelassiers made the difference on the smallest of margins, and at the very end of the match.
When a good ball from Antoine Griezmann fell into the area, Julian Alvarez made the right gesture to score his second goal of the season, and thus offer victory to his team (1-0, 90e).
The French international, also credited with two achievements this season in the championship, brings his number of assists to three, in seven tricks. Plus a goal and an offering in the Champions League.
With this cost, Atlético is in third position in the Spanish elite rankings, six points behind the Blaugrana leader and two points behind the first runner-up, Merengue. Just ahead of Villarreal who earlier in the day dominated Espanyol in Barcelona (1-2).
