Las Palmas defeats Atletico Madrid 1-0, escapes relegation zone

Javi Munoz scored a dramatic stoppage-time goal to give relegation-threatened Las Palmas a surprising 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, dealing a major blow to Atletico's already slim LaLiga title hopes. The win lifted Las Palmas out of the relegation zone to 17th place, while Atletico remained third in the standings, trailing leaders Barcelona by 10 points. Although both teams had chances in the first half, strong goalkeeping and defensive play kept the match scoreless until Munoz capitalized on Atletico's defensive lapse in the final minutes. His goal was initially disallowed for offside but was awarded after a VAR review, sparking celebrations at Estadio Gran Canaria. Atletico players acknowledged the disappointment, with captain Koke admitting their title ambitions are now nearly impossible and emphasizing the need to focus on winning matches against lower-ranked teams. The defeat ended Atletico's recent scoring streak in LaLiga and further diminished their chances in the title race.
