Atletico Madrid Pip Granada, Getafe Spank Valencia To Boost Champions League Hopes

By Daily Sports on February 9, 2020

Atletico Madrid won for the first time in four games as they beat Granada 1-0 on Saturday to move into fourth place in La Liga.

Argentinian forward Angel Correa scored the only goal in the sixth minute, netting for the fifth time in nine matches.

Atletico had goalkeeper Jan Oblak to thank for preserving the three points with a superb save from Roberto Soldado’s crafty second-half backheel.

Diego Simeone’s side could be overtaken on Sunday by Sevilla, who visit Celta Vigo, but the coach will welcome the return to form for a side who must face holders Liverpool in the last 16 of the Champions League later this month.

Suprising Getafe took another step towards their own Champions League qualification as Jorge Molina scored twice in a sensational 3-0 win over fellow top-four contenders Valencia.

The 37-year-old Molina capped a storming performance with two goals in the second half before Jaime Mata added a third with three minutes left, after Valencia's Alessandro Florenzi had been sent off.
