Atlético Madrid traveled to face bottom-placed Real Oviedo in La Liga's 26th round. Despite Sørloth's recent scoring form with five goals in his last two matches, the Norwegian forward had a quiet afternoon and was replaced by Antoine Griezmann after an hour of play.
The match remained goalless until the 93rd minute when Julian Alvarez broke the deadlock for Atlético. The victory keeps the Madrid side in third place, though they remain 15 points behind league leaders Barcelona.
