Alavés and Atlético Madrid played to a goalless draw at Mendizorroza on Saturday. The result leaves Alavés outside the relegation zone for now. Atlético, meanwhile, is nine points behind Barcelona, which still has a game in hand.
The match was briefly halted due to a medical emergency in the stands behind the dugouts. Atlético struggled to create chances, failing to register a single shot on goal in the first half.
Goalkeepers Shine
The highlight of the match came when goalkeepers Oblak and Sivera made impressive saves. Kike’s slow shot was deflected by Oblak, and then Sivera blocked Lenglet’s effort with a strong save. Despite the lack of goals, both teams had moments that tested their goalkeepers.
The draw effectively ends Atlético’s title hopes for the season. Alavés, on the other hand, takes a breather, temporarily escaping the relegation zone.
