Atletico Madrid overcame an important stop in the final meters in the La Liga title race, by defeating its guest Real Sociedad (2-1), in the match that was hosted by the (Wanda Metropolitano) stadium, today, Wednesday, in the 36th round of the Spanish League.
The Madrid team finished the task "clinically" in the first 45 minutes with the two goals of victory, as the first came in the 16th minute, with the signing of the Belgian star Yannick Carrasco, after a pass by Marcos Llorente, inside the area to shoot a ball that passed between the feet of guest goalkeeper Alex Remero.
And in the 28th minute, Argentine star Angel Correa added the second goal, after a gift from Uruguayan star Luis Suarez, to kick Correa with a low shot that went into the net.
The Basque team ignited the match in the 83rd minute, with the aim of reducing the difference with the signing of Igor Zobeldia, but things passed safely to Diego Simeone's squad until the end, as the team collected 3 precious points that brought it closer to the La Liga title, which he has been absent from 7 years ago.
The "Rojiblancos" raised their score to 80 points, 4 points ahead of Barca, the runner-up, and 5 from Real, who will face a difficult test Thursday when they visit the stadium (Los Carmenes), the stronghold of Granada.
While Sociedad stuck at 56 points, it remains in fifth place.
