Atlético Madrid traveled to face bottom-of-the-table Real Oviedo with Sørloth starting upfront despite his poor performance. The Norwegian striker, who had scored five goals in his last two matches, was substituted after approximately 60 minutes of play.
The match remained goalless until stoppage time when Julian Alvarez secured the winning goal for the visitors. Atlético maintains third position in La Liga, though they trail leaders Barcelona by 15 points.
