Correa blends local flair with skill to seal a win for Atlético de Madrid over Real Betis, as the chase for a Champions League spot tightens.
From kick-off to final whistle, Atlético de Madrid clinches a 1-0 victory over Betis with a goal from Ángel Correa that showcased precision and poise. Diego Simeone’s side grab three vital points, widening their gap to the Europa League chasing pack and leaving them firmly on course for the Champions League places. Nine points separate them from fifth place, where Manuel Pellegrini’s Betis sits, and the race for the European spots remains intense after Villarreal’s earlier win against Real Sociedad.
The defining moment? A late, clever strike from Correa off the bench that punctured Betis and underscored Atlético’s ability to impact games with substitutions. Betis maintains fifth, but the window of opportunity for the rest of the chase narrows as La Liga progresses toward its closing stages.
