MADRID (Reuters) -Atletico Madrid clinched a scrappy 1-0 victory at Getafe on Sunday courtesy of an 82nd-minute own goal by Domingos Duarte to extend their unbeaten run in LaLiga to 12 matches.

Diego Simeone's side dominated possession throughout the encounter at Getafe's Coliseum stadium but struggled to break down their deep-lying five-man defence.

Chances were at a premium in a match that seemed destined to end in a goalless stalemate before late drama handed Atletico all three points.

Substitute Giacomo Raspadori, a lively presence after his introduction, sent in a low cross from the left that Getafe centre back Duarte, under pressure as he attempted to clear the ball, inadvertently backheeled into his own net.

The narrow victory extended Atletico's winning streak in LaLiga to five matches and lifted them to 28 points, three behind leaders Barcelona and Real Madrid, with Real having played one game fewer. Simeone's side are unbeaten in the league since their opening-day loss at Espanyol in August.
