Riquelme strike earns narrow win for Atletico
Atletico Madrid closed in on a UEFA Champions League spot after winger Rodrigo Riquelme's early strike earned his side a 1-0 win at Mallorca in LaLiga.
With four games remaining, Diego Simeone's side is fourth on the standings on 67 points, six ahead of fifth-placed Athletic Club, which beat Getafe in its fixture.
There was an end-of-the-season feel at a half-empty Son Moix stadium with both teams lacking urgency in a lacklustre match, with the only standout moment being Riquelme's fine individual effort in the fifth minute, which ultimately secured the win for the visitors.
Riquelme pounced on a loose ball in the edge of the box and cleared two defenders before unleashing an unstoppable strike just inside the right post.
