The leader in the ranking of the Spanish championship Atletico Madrid increased its lead at the top ahead of the second Real Madrid to already 10 points, after `los colchoneros` beat Cadiz 4:2 as guests today in a match of the 21st round of La Liga. Atletico has one game advised by video football goals less. Luis Suarez scored two goals for Atletico (28 `;, 50 `-d penalty), and Saul Niges (44 `) and Koke (88 `) added one more goal each. For the hosts from Cadiz, Alvaro Negredo was accurate twice (35 `;, 71 `). The team of Cadiz can regret that they did not fight for a point, because at 2:3 the hosts had their chances for an equalizing goal, and at the very end of the first half, with a score of 2:1 for Atletico, the referee made a discussionnot to award a penalty in favor of the Andalusians after the intervention of the VAR.






In the 14th minute, Diego Simeone`s players were close to scoring in the door of Cadiz guard Jeremias Ledesma. Luis Suarez received the ball very close to the opponent`s goal and tried a shot, but it was blocked brilliantly by defender Marcos. In this situation, the ball reached Saul, who was right in front of the penalty area, who shot dangerously but inaccurately. In the 28th minute, the `mattresses` were given the right to take a direct free kick from a good position. Luis Suarez stood behind the ball and the 34-year-old Uruguayan striker with a great shot stretched the net behind Ledesma.




The hosts relatively quickly erased the lead of Madrid, as in the 35th minute another veteran - 35-year-old Alvaro Negredo, scored a good goal. He freed himself from the care of an opposing player on the corner of the penalty area and with a precise shot sent the ball into the bottom right corner of Jan Oblak. The Slovenian guard was `matted` in this situation - 1:1.






The final minutes of the first half will be remembered with a curious goal and, to put it mildly, a controversial referee`s decision in favor of Atletico. First, Saul scored a slightly strange goal in the 44th minute, which returned the lead of the leader in the standings by one goal in the result. The goal came after an attempt to cross Toma Lomar, in which Saul very skillfully put his foot down and with a blow from the air managed to surprise and transfer the Argentine goalkeeper to the hosts, who definitely did not react in the best way. And when it looked like Cholo Simeone`s team would retire at the break with a goal lead, in added time Koke played with his hand in the penalty area of the guests and this had to be a penalty in favor of the Andalusians. Referee Jesus Hill Manzano still decided to consult with the VAR system, but quickly decided that in this situation there were no grounds for an 11-meter penalty kick. So, in the end, the Atletico players actually went back to the locker room with a score of 2:1 in their favor.






Three minutes after the break, Marcos acted clumsily against Lomar, who invaded the home team`s penalty area, and committed an offense against the Frenchman without playing with the ball at all. Referee Jesus Hill Manzano categorically pointed to the white dot and this time his decision was more than correct. Suarez easily turned the penalty into a goal and Atletico now looked very close to victory. In the 56th minute Negredo tried from a difficult position Suarez brings Atletico Madrid closer to the dream title after a goal thriller in Cadiz Football predictions - more details and information: Football predictions
