Atletico Crushes Cadiz and Claims Second Place from Real Madrid

Atletico Madrid scored five goals for the second consecutive match, winning 5-1 against struggling guests Cadiz, and seized second place from their neighbors Real Madrid in La Liga on Wednesday. Antoine Griezmann netted two early goals to establish Atletico's dominance in the match. Álvaro Morata extended the home side's lead after the break before Yannick Carrasco made it 4-0 from a penalty. Anthony Lozano reduced the deficit for the visitors, but Nahuel Molina capped Atletico's scoring with a counter-attack goal. With five rounds remaining, Atletico raised their points total to 69, one point ahead of Real Madrid, which lost 2-0 to fourth-place Real Sociedad on Tuesday. Leader Barcelona has 82 points after defeating Osasuna 1-0, and they could secure the title for the 27th time if they win against Espanyol on May 14.
