This is unbelievable as Elche who is last on the table is winning ATM who is third on the table. Elche dominated the match and the players were able to break through ATH defense with a long throw which the goalkeeper punched out but unlucky for him it was a robound from Fidel on the 41st minutes,and the goal displaced the goalkeeper who hasn't balanced yet after the punch out of the ball. If the games ends in favour of Elche it means that Real Madrid will remain on the second position on the league because Real Madrid is just a point ahead of ATM. On the other hand if ATH does a welcome back in the second half and win the match,they will take over the second position from Real Madrid. It few minutes to the second half.
Elche 1-0 ATM
In my opinion, this is a bit strange, how is it possible that Atletico, who have always won by a landslide in their last few games, are now having a hard time scoring goals and they even had to concede a goal in the first half by Elche. I think maybe Atletico would have lost this game if they didn't adapt quickly in the second half?
But I'm actually pretty sure that Atletico will again overtake Real Madrid in the standings, but the problem is they need 2 goals to win this game and I think it's quite difficult if they are still under pressure. The match is still long enough, I hope Atletico can prove their mentality to win, especially since Elche is a relegation zone team that is certain not to be in La Liga next season.
I still have hope on Atletico Madrid to turn things around and win this game, 1 nil at first half is nothing in football, dont be surprise to see Atletico Madrid winning this game by 3 to at the end, they have the team to do such magic. Elche made use of their opportunity at the first half and was lucky to win the first half.
Atletico Madrid will end the league in second position, if the win tonight it will be hard for them to allow Real Madrid to over take them,
Even if Real Madrid take over their place it wouldn't change anything, right. Atletico will still play in the UCL, and still avoid threats because there is still four positions, the top four positions is the positions that many clubs in various leagues are after.
Real Madrid also doesn't seem very ambitious to take over second place because in the end they still won't be able to shift Barcelona at the top of the standings, Madrid is far more focus on appear in the Champions League because they still have opportunities there.
