JAKARTA - Atletico Madrid failed to win the top spot. Atletico's brilliant record also broke when he played the Spanish La Liga away match against Las Palmas promotion team at Gran Canaria Stadium, Saturday, November 4 in the morning WIB. In the away match, Atletico lost 2-1 to fail to replace Real Madrid.

Atletico visited Las Palmas with strong confidence. They set a record six consecutive wins.

Not only that, Atletico have also been unbeaten in the last eight matches in various competitions. They lost for the last time on September 16. At that time, Los Colchoneros were forced to give up 3-0 against Valencia.

Atletico, who brought the good record, hoped to meet the target in the away match. Moreover, they face a promotional team. Victory over Las Palmas will bring Atletico to the top of the standings shifting Madrid.

Instead of meeting the target, Atletico lost. On the other hand, Las Palmas set a record because for the first time since 1987 he was able to beat Atletico.

The victory immediately brought La Palmas to ninth place with 17 points. Similar to Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis. However, Las Palmas lost the goal difference so they took the position below them.

However, this is the best achievement of the promotion team. Meanwhile, Granada, who is the second La Liga champion, fell and was in the relegation zone. Granada also became a candidate to return to the second caste.

Las Palmas' match against Atletico is indeed tight. Atletico, who took the initiative to attack by relying on counter attacks, faced strong resistance from the host.

At least, Atletico got two chances to score through Rodrigo Riquelme. But that good chance could always be thwarted brilliantly by goalkeeper Alvaro Valles.

Atletico also failed to score. Meanwhile, Las Palmas, who remained calm despite being under pressure, has not been able to break into the opponent's goal. The score was 0-0 when the first 45 minutes were over.

In the second half, Las Palmas started playing more aggressively. As a result, the hosts did not have to wait long to take the lead first. Las Palmas' goal was produced by Kirian Rodriguez who welcomed Alberto Moleiro's assist in the 51st minute.

Winning 1-0 made the hosts even more excited despite remaining calm in keeping up with Atletico's aggressive game. Yes, the visitors tried to threaten Las Palmas through strikers Antoine Griezmann and Koke. But they still failed to score.

Digo Simeone's team is starting to get frustrated. Moreover, Las Palmas' open game can also still put pressure on the Atletico defense.

Even in the 75th minute, the hosts managed to increase their advantage. This time, Benito Ramirez, who came in to replace Moleiro, managed to break into Jan Oblak's goal.

Ramirez successfully took advantage of the assist from the Munir striker El Haddadi to make Las Palmas 2-0.

Not long ago, Atletico could only reduce the lag. The visitors' goal was produced by striker Alvaro Morata in the 83rd minute. He finished the bait from Riquelme.

Morata actually almost saved Atletico from losing in injury time. But his shot which greeted the rebound ball only hit the post.

The score did not change. Las Palmas won 2-1 and a record that lasted 37 years could never beat Atletico was finally created.
