Atlético Madrid climbed to fourth in LaLiga after Thiago Almada’s lone goal sealed a 1-0 win over Osasuna at the Metropolitano.
Antoine Griezmann, still chasing his 200th league goal, had an early effort ruled out for offside before being denied by Sergio Herrera.
Osasuna offered resistance through Lucas Torró’s close-range attempt, but Jan Oblak stood firm to keep the hosts level.
The breakthrough arrived in the 69th minute when substitute Giuliano Simeone burst down the right and squared for Almada to finish from close range.
Oblak produced a crucial late save to stop Ante Budimir and secure the points, as Diego Simeone’s side claimed a ninth home victory in their last ten league meetings with Osasuna.
The visitors, still without an away point this season, have now lost all five of their league trips, matching their worst start on the road in over a decade.
