Atlético, leader of LaLiga Santander, maintains its six point advantage over the Real Madrid in the qualifying table thanks to a victory suffered this Sunday (1-0) against the Deportivo Alavés. However, the Blue and Whites had, with only four minutes remaining in the match, the opportunity to tie the game, but the penalty taken by Joselu Mato, former merengue player, has stopped him Jan Oblak with a sensational stop that could be decisive in the face of the title outcome.
The mattress goalkeeper, who had not stopped a maximum penalty for about three years (May 12, 2018), has guessed Joselu's intention and has avoided a bit that can be worth a League.
Until the crash against Alavés, Oblak accumulated 10 penalties in a row without stopping any (9 goals and a shot off Sandro), according to ‘Mister Chip’. The Alavés striker, born 30 years ago in Stuttgart, had already missed another penalty against him this season Seville, after what Bond stop the launch and avoid the 2-2 of the Vitoria.
Joselu, former Castilla striker, in which he scored 40 goals in 73 games, he played two games with the merengue first team, in which he scored two goals in just 18 minutes on the pitch. The first was done in LaLiga at Almeria (8-1), in May 2011, and the second, in December of that same year, in a Cup duel against the Ponferradina (5-1).
