Atlético Madrid traveled north to face Real Oviedo in the 26th round of La Liga. Despite Sørloth's recent form with five goals in his last two matches, the Norwegian striker failed to add to his tally and was replaced by Antoine Griezmann after an hour. The match was low-chance until Julian Alvarez scored the decisive goal three minutes into added time.
The victory keeps Atlético in third place in the league standings, though they remain 15 points behind leaders Barcelona.
