ATHLETICO MADRID EDGE CLOSER TO LALIGA TITLE

Itahari, Atletico Madrid had the chance to open up a four- and five-point gap over Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively with a win against Real Sociedad at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday night, and they did exactly the same.

Atletico hold on for a massive three points, although Zubeldia's late strike had the home side on edge in the closing stages but they were able to hold their nerves and secure a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad.

An early strike from Carrasco on the 15^th minute gave Athletico Madrid 1-0 lead which was doubled by Correa on 27^th minute of the game.

Atletico Madrid were cruising at the halfway point, with goals from Carrasco and Correa. Simeone's men burst out of the traps and maintained intensity throughout the half. Isak threatened twice for Real Sociedad but was denied by Oblak on both occasions.

On 82^nd minute, Real Sociedad setup a tense finish for Atletico as Zubeldia scored from close range and made the scoreline 2-1. Atletico suddenly looked nervy with one-goal advantage as Sociedad constantly keep on attacking but were unable to score hence the match was gone in favour of Athletico Madrid who remains on top of Laliga after 36 matches played out of 38 matches and a potential candidate for title winner for 2020/21 season.
