Atlético Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Osasuna at the Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday evening, propelling them to the top of the LaLiga standings.
The decisive moment came in the 55th minute when Julián Álvarez capitalized on a well-executed corner routine, finishing from close range to break the deadlock.
Despite dominating possession and creating multiple opportunities, Atlético found it challenging to convert chances into goals. An early strike by Antoine Griezmann was disallowed by VAR for handball, and Osasuna’s goalkeeper, Sergio Herrera, made several crucial saves to keep his team in contention.
This triumph marks Atlético’s 14th consecutive win across all competitions, setting a new club record. The victory elevates them to 44 points, one ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, solidifying their position as serious contenders for the league title.
Osasuna, currently 11th in the standings, have now gone seven league matches without a win.
Looking ahead, Atlético Madrid will aim to extend their winning streak as they continue their pursuit of LaLiga glory, while Osasuna will seek to reverse their fortunes in upcoming fixtures to climb the league table.
