Atletico Madrid tighten grip on second place in La Liga

Atletico Madrid edge past city rivals Getafe 1-0 to as good as secure a runners-up spot in La Liga, courtesy of an early Koke goal.

Atletico Madrid have defeated Getafe 1-0 at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez to tighten their grip on second place in the La Liga standings.

An early goal from Koke settled the contest in the Spanish capital, as Atleti edged past their city rivals to move six points ahead of third-placed Real Madrid.

A point at home to Eibar next weekend will be enough for Diego Simeone's men to secure a runners-up spot, regardless of how last year's champions Real get on in their final two matches.

Koke rounded off a fine team move into the bottom corner eight minutes in after being set up by Antoine Griezmann, and a second almost followed as Diego Costa's strike needed saving.

Getafe squandered a glorious chance to equalise later in the match, however, when Diego Godin conceded a penalty, which Faycal Fajr saw kept out by Jan Oblak 13 minutes from time.

Vicente Guaita was called into action to keep out substitute attacker Kevin Gameiro, but in the end Atletico's early goal proved to be enough for a slender win.

Next up for Los Rojiblancos is their Europa League final showdown with Marseille on Wednesday night.

GETAFE (4-4-2): Guaita; Damian, Djene, Bruno, Antunes; Portillo, Flamini (Mora 60'), Fajr, Diedhiou (Angel 53'); Jorge Molina, Remy (Pachecho 72')

ATLETICO MADRID (4-4-2): Oblak; Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Filipe Luis; Saul, Thomas, Gabi, Koke (Correa 70'); Griezmann (Torres 62'), Diego Costa (Gameiro 62')
