Atlético Madrid secured a 3-0 victory against Real Sociedad on Sunday, September 13, 2026, in La Liga, thanks to three goals scored in the closing minutes of the match. Alejandro Grimaldo opened the scoring with a penalty before Jonathan David and Giuliano Simeone sealed the Madrid side’s success.

The match remained tightly contested until the 84th minute, when Grimaldo converted a penalty awarded for a handball by Job Ochieng in the box. Grimaldo then initiated a counterattack that was finished off by Jonathan David in the 90th minute.

Giuliano Simeone extended the lead to 3-0 in the 95th minute after a run from midfield. Grimaldo ended the match with one goal and one assist, while Jonathan David scored his first goal for Atlético.
