Atlético Madrid took a 1-0 lead over Deportivo de A Coruña on Saturday when Julián Álvarez found the net in the 47th minute, according to MARCA's live coverage of the LaLiga EA Sports fixture.
MARCA reports that Álvarez struck with his right foot from very close range, breaking the deadlock shortly after the interval.
The goal came early in the second half, with the scoreline still level at the break. MARCA's live updates did not indicate any goals before Álvarez's finish, meaning the match entered halftime goalless.
Álvarez, an Argentina international forward, was positioned close to goal when the chance arrived, and he converted with his right foot to hand Atlético the advantage.
The match was played on Saturday, 24 October 2026, with MARCA publishing live updates from 20:05 GMT.
Deportivo de A Coruña, who share the top flight with Atlético this season, now face the task of responding to the deficit as the second half continues.
MARCA's coverage of the match remains ongoing, and further developments — including any equaliser, substitutions or additional goals — will follow in the outlet's live feed.
What to watch next: whether Deportivo can find a response, and how Atlético manage the remainder of the second half as they protect their lead.
