Sørloth Goalless as Atlético Edge Oviedo

Alexander Sørloth failed to find the net as Atlético Madrid claimed a hard-fought 1-0 win against Real Oviedo in La Liga's 26th round.

Atlético Madrid traveled north to face La Liga's bottom team Real Oviedo, with Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth starting on the back of scoring five goals in his last two matches. However, the in-form forward couldn't continue his goal-scoring streak, being substituted after 60 minutes for Antoine Griezmann as the match remained goalless.

The breakthrough came in the 93rd minute when Julian Alvarez scored the decisive goal, securing a 1-0 victory for the visiting team. The win keeps Atlético Madrid in third place in the standings, though they remain 15 points behind league leaders Barcelona.
