Scoreless Sørloth as Atlético Secure Vital Points

Atlético Madrid traveled to face Real Oviedo in La Liga's 26th round with Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth, who had scored five goals in his last two matches, starting on top. However, the in-form forward was substituted after 60 minutes without finding the net, making way for Antoine Griezmann.

The match proved to be chance-limited, but Atlético eventually broke the deadlock three minutes into stoppage time when Julian Alvarez secured the 1-0 victory. The result keeps Atlético in third place in La Liga, though they remain 15 points behind leaders Barcelona.
