Atletico Madrid extend streak, lead league at halfway

Atletico Madrid have set a club all-time record of 14 straight victories with a 1-0 win over Osasuna which put them on top of the Spanish league at the halfway stage.

Julián Álvarez scored in the 55th minute at the Metropolitano stadium on Sunday to give Atletico the milestone victory and a one-point lead over second-place Real Madrid, with a further five points back to third-place Barcelona.

Atletico have won all of their matches across all competitions since October. Their last setback was a 1-0 loss at Real Betis in the Spanish league on Oct.ober 27. Eight of the victories have come in the league.

“It’s an important streak to show the growth of this club,” coach Diego Simeone said. “We have been working really hard.”

It was the seventh consecutive league game without a win for Osasuna, who are in 11th place.

Also Sunday, 15th-place Getafe won 2-1 at 14th-place Las Palmas.
