Sevilla, led by Matías Almeyda, defeated Osasuna 1-0, complicating their fight against relegation. Sevilla F.C won 1-0 against Osasuna, sending them two places into the relegation zone to the second division. The only goal of the match came from the left winger, Swiss Rubén Vargas Martínez, who was one of the standout figures of the game. During the first half, 'Blanquirrojo' deployed a solid offensive strategy that surprised the different defensive lines of their opponent. With this brace, the Frenchman reaffirmed his status as the leader and reference point of the team. With the victory, Simeone's team climbed to third place with 25 points, being surpassed only by Barcelona and Real Madrid. Ball control and wing play marked the rhythm of a team that tried to impose conditions from the start, although without being able to capitalize on the situations created. However, despite the significant offensive effort, the team led by technical director Matías Almeyda went to the locker room with a frustrating 0-0 draw at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium. The lack of effectiveness in the final meters and the good performance of goalkeeper Sergio Herrera Pirón kept Osasuna alive in the first half. In the second half of the duel, Sevilla returned to the field with a different attitude that was observed in the performance of the attack. From there, Atlético de Madrid felt the pressure of having to win not to lose ground in the table. The entry of Griezmann in the second half completely changed the story, as just 30 seconds after jumping onto the field, the Frenchman connected with a header from a cross by Marcos Llorente to put the team back in front. At 36 minutes of the second half, Griezmann was present again with a precise definition inside the area to sentence the final 3-1. From then on, Almeyda's team controlled the game with skill and secured a fundamental victory to move away from the bottom of the table. On the other hand, Girona F.C defeated Alavés 1-0. The remaining match, RCD Espanyol vs. Villarreal C.F. Atlético de Madrid, with Argentines Giuliano Simeone and Julián Álvarez as starters, defeated Levante 3-1 at the Metropolitano stadium for the twelfth round of LaLiga and continues firm in its fight for the championship. The team led by Diego Simeone imposed itself with goals from Adrián De La Fuente (own goal) and Antoine Griezmann, author of a decisive brace. This team showed more fluency and effectiveness, especially from the bench, which gave freshness to the midfield and speed to the wingers. At 6 minutes, 'Los Nervionenses' scored the 1-0 that sealed their victory as locals. Swiss attacker Rubén Vargas Martínez executed a precise shot from twelve yards that disoriented goalkeeper Sergio Herrera Pirón and unleashed euphoria in the stands. Defender Manu Sánchez had temporarily equalized for the visitors. The match began with a dominance of the local team, which found the advantage at 22 minutes thanks to an unfortunate play from defender De La Fuente, who deflected a cross and scored in his own goal. However, the joy was short-lived for the home team, as ten minutes later, Sánchez took advantage of a defensive oversight to equalize the score and add suspense to the duel.
