Last-place Alaves stunned defending champion Atletico Madrid with a 1-0 victory in the Spanish league on Saturday.

Atletico had been unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions this season.

The home victory kept Alaves from equaling their worst-ever start to the league. They had started with six straight losses in 2017-18.

Alaves hadn’t beaten Atletico in the league since 2003, with eight losses and four draws in that span.

The only team left without a point to start the season are Getafe, who visits Real Betis on Sunday.
