Improving Atletico cruise to comfortable win over Osasuna

Atletico Madrid secured a comfortable 4-0 victory over Osasuna at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, moving up to third place in La Liga ahead of their upcoming derby match against Real Madrid. Goals from Jonathan David, Lee Kang-in, Robin Le Normand, and Alex Baena helped Diego Simeone's side cruise to the win. The match served as a crucial win for Atletico, who had suffered two defeats in their first three games, with injured striker Julian Alvarez missing from the squad.

Osasuna goalkeeper Aitor Fernandez made a crucial save to deny Lee, while Jan Oblak of Osasuna kept out a shot from Raul Garcia. Earlier in the match, Jonathan David put Atletico ahead midway through the first half with a quick reaction, while Lee Kang-in drilled the ball into the bottom corner in the second half. Robin Le Normand added a third goal in the 63rd minute, and Johnny Cardoso completed the rout with the fourth goal in the 71st minute.

Sevilla climbed to fourth place with a 1-0 win against Deportivo La Coruna, while La Liga leaders Barcelona and Levante face each other in a crucial match.
