Las Palmas Stun Atlético Madrid with Last-Gasp Winner
After 12 long winless rounds in La Liga, UD Las Palmas have come alive — and what a way to make a statement. Following up their recent revival with a second straight victory, the Canary Islanders pulled off a sensational 1–0 win over Atlético Madrid.
The drama peaked deep into stoppage time. In the 93rd minute, chaos erupted in the Atlético box as a loose ball bounced wildly past a forest of defenders. From the shadows emerged Javier Muñoz, who pounced with a scrappy but priceless finish past a helpless Jan Oblak. It wasn’t pretty — more Sunday league than Santiago Bernabéu — but it was exactly what Las Palmas needed.
As for Diego Simeone’s side, the frustration is mounting. Atlético Madrid have now lost three of their last six league fixtures, and their grip on the title race is slipping. They're three points behind rivals Real Madrid, who also have a game in hand — a concerning gap with every dropped point.
