Atletico Madrid secured a 1-0 victory over Deportivo A Coruna in LaLiga, extending their winning streak to six consecutive matches. Alejandro Grimaldo's cross led to Julian Alvarez's decisive strike in the 48th minute, ending his goalless run in LaLiga. The Argentina forward's early second-half goal proved crucial as Diego Simeone's side moved two points behind leaders Barcelona, ahead of Sunday's El Clasico.

Despite early pressure from Deportivo, Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak made several crucial saves, including denying Miguel Loureiro's header in the sixth minute and reacting quickly to block Lorenzo Amatucci's rebound. Deportivo had a significant opportunity in the final moments when Kevin Sanchez shot straight at Oblak from close range, but it fell short.
