Javi Munoz scored a late goal for Las Palmas, securing a dramatic 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, who are falling behind in the LaLiga title race. This upset allowed Las Palmas to move out of the relegation zone into 17th place, temporarily relieving their struggles. The match was largely uneventful until Munoz's volley in stoppage time, which was a controversial win as it was initially flagged for offside but overturned by VAR. Atletico remains third in the standings, trailing Barcelona significantly after their own thrilling comeback victory against Celta Vigo.
The match looked to be heading for a dour goalless draw, but three minutes into second-half stoppage time, Atletico failed to deal with a long free-kick from Las Palmas goalkeeper Dinko Horkas.
The surprise victory allowed Las Palmas to climb to 17th place and, at least temporarily, escape the drop zone with 32 points, two ahead of Alaves.
