Atletico Madrid Beats Mallorca 1-0 in La Liga

Julian Alvarez scored the only goal in Atletico Madrid's 1-0 victory over Real Mallorca, securing their fourth consecutive win in La Liga and moving them to third in the table. The goal, which came in the 61st minute, was set up by Giuliano Simeone following a quick counter-attack initiated by goalkeeper Jan Oblak. Despite the win, both teams struggled offensively, with low expected goals (xG) and few clear chances created throughout the match. Atletico's defense has been particularly strong, allowing only seven goals in seven matches, while Oblak recorded his sixth clean sheet. The result leaves Mallorca in eighth place, two points shy of the top six. Atletico is now just one point behind Real Madrid and seven behind league leaders Barcelona, who have a game in hand.
