In the 26th round of the Spanish championship, Atletico Madrid played away against Real Oviedo and secured a minimal 1-0 victory in a very tough and intense match. The match went on without a goal for a long time, but the decisive moment remained until the very last minutes.
Julian Alvarez decided the match in the 90+4th minute. The Argentinian striker capitalized on his opportunity in extra time, securing three crucial points for the Mattress Players. Thus, Diego Simeone's men snatched the victory at the last moment.

This success also played a significant role in Atletico's league table. The Madrid team climbed to third place with 51 points after 26 matches. Real Oviedo remains at the bottom of the table with 17 points.
The game wasn't easy. Oviedo showed strong resistance at home, while Atletico couldn't find the right path for a long time. But the difference between big teams is this - even when the game isn't very open, they can change fate from a single situation. The same thing happened this time.
In short, Atletico achieved a not-so-beautiful but very necessary victory this time. Alvarez's last-minute goal played a crucial role in Real Madrid's struggle for the top spot, while Oviedo suffered another painful defeat.
