Atletico Madrid secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over CA Osasuna in La Liga, with Ademola Lookman playing a decisive role by opening the scoring from the penalty spot.
The Nigerian forward calmly converted in the 15th minute, giving Atletico an early advantage after a handball incident inside the box.
Lookman strikes early to set the tone
Lookman’s penalty proved crucial in a tense encounter, with Atletico later doubling their lead through Alexander Sørloth, who powered in a close-range header.
Despite a late push from Osasuna — including an injury-time goal from Kike Barja — Diego Simeone’s side held firm to secure all three points.
The result keeps Atletico firmly in fourth place in La Liga, strengthening their push for another UEFA Champions League campaign.
Real Betis seal Champions League qualification

La Liga race heats up
With Barcelona already crowned champions and Real Madrid and Villarreal also in strong positions, the battle for European qualification remains intense across the final stretch of the season.
For Lookman and Atletico, the focus now shifts to finishing strong and confirming a top-four finish in a tightly contested campaign.
