MADRID (AP) — Atletico Madrid continued their winning streak on Wednesday, beating Cádiz 5-1 to move past Real Madrid for second place in Spain’s La Liga.
Antoine Griezmann got a double in the first half, while Álvaro Morata, the Belgian Yannick Carrasco and the Argentine Nahuel Molina contributed goals in the complement.
Atleti thus achieved their twelfth win in 14 league games. The team led by the Argentine Diego Simeone was placed one point above Madrid, with five dates remaining.
It is the first time so far this season that the Colchonero club has placed second in the table, which guarantees the right to play the lucrative Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
Madrid, which lost 2-0 to Real Sociedad on Tuesday, had occupied one of the top two rungs since the beginning of the season. Now, he is concentrating on playing the Copa del Rey final against Osasuna on Saturday.
Likewise, the semifinal of the Champions League against Manchester City is pending.
