Loanee Juanmi's brace on either side of halftime gave the 18th-placed Andalusian team an important three points and condemned Atletico to their sixth loss of the season. Juanmi—who was on loan from Real Betis—made all the difference in the game. The outcome puts Atletico two points behind Girona in third place and Cadiz moves closer to safety as they move provisionally to within two points of 17th place.
In another match, Real Sociedad overcame second-place Granada thanks to last-minute goals from Andre Silva and Robin Le Normand to win the match. In the first half, Myrto Uzuni twice put the home team ahead, negating Sadiq Umar's equalizer just after the intermission. However, Silva pounced in the 85th minute to give the Basques a 3-2 victory after Le Normand leveled the score 10 minutes from the end.
