AI will look into the eyes Cadiz as Atletico Madrid looked to take advantage of Real Madridthey slip against Levante to extend their lead to 10 points at the top of LaLiga Santander and they just did it.
From the first minute of the tie at the Ramon de Carranza Stadium, when Jan Oblak wasting a shot for a corner, it was clear that this tie would be a thriller.
Luis Suarez opened the scoring with a good direct free kick from 20 yards, just for another veteran, Alvaro Negredo to pull back the leaderboard with a fine effort from his own side.
Saul with a more casual goal, Atleti created their own happiness at the break, while also having to thank referee Jesus Gil Manzano after serving the initial penalty for a Koke handball.
Half time provided the opportunity to regroup, while Atleti looked less convincing defensively Mario Hermoso and Kieran Trippier, while Lucas Torreira has done little to justify his first start in midfield since October.
A change in shape beckons, with Sime Vrsaljko with the break brought for the Uruguayan, and Los Colchoneros started the ideal start when Suarez added a second from the penalty spot.
However, Negredo kept up with his counterpart and hit a prop himself and this time hit an outstretched Oblak as he pushed his header off the posts.
Cadiz kept up the pressure on the visitors and kept pushing, but Atletico looked firmer when Simeone proposed it. Geoffrey Kondogbia and Hector Herrera in midfield.
Koke would put the game in bed with just two minutes of playing time left and act on the far post to turn the cross from another substitute. Angel Correa, in a purpose.
The result leaves Atletico Madrid ten points from second placed Real Madrid with a game in hand, and as the end of the season unfolds, Atletico fans have more and more reason to believe that the title after the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.
