Osasuna 1 – Atlético Madrid 2
Budimir’s strike wasn’t enough to secure a point for the home side as Atlético Madrid came from behind to claim a crucial victory in LaLiga EA Sports matchday 36. The match at El Sadar saw the visitors dominate possession early on, but it was Osasuna who struck first through Ante Budimir, who converted a well-placed cross in the 25th minute to give the hosts the lead. However, Atlético responded swiftly just before halftime when an angled shot from Antoine Griezmann equalized the score, capitalizing on a defensive lapse.
In the second half, Atlético pushed forward with intensity, and their persistence paid off in the 68th minute when Álvaro Morata headed home a pinpoint corner kick to make it 2-1. Osasuna had chances to level late on, including a close-range effort from Moi Gómez that was brilliantly saved by Jan Oblak, but the visitors held on to take all three points. The win keeps Atlético in contention for a top-four finish, while Osasuna’s survival hopes remain under pressure. {IMAGE_1}
