MADRID (Spain): Atletico Madrid overcame Real Sociedad 2-1 on Wednesday to move closer to winning La Liga.
Yannick Carrasco and Angel Correa scored in first half, while Igor Zubeldia blasted in for La Real with seven minutes left.
“We were excellent in the first half but the suffering was unnecessary when we had so many chances,” said Atletico coach Simeone.
Victory puts Atletico four points clear of Barcelona in the table and five ahead of Real Madrid, with Zinedine Zidane’s side playing their game in hand away at Granada on Thursday.
“We thank all those who are outside tonight and all those who can’t come because of everything that is happening,” said Atletico captain Koke. “We could hear them outside when we needed them in the last 10 minutes.”
