VIDEO: Diego Godin's late gaffe gifts Malaga victory over Atletico

Atletico Madrid was handed a perfect opportunity to overtake an idle Barcelona side and Diego Simeone's lot blew it, conceding a late goal to Malaga during a 1-0 defeat in Andalusia on Sunday.

Malaga forward Charles' limp 87th-minute effort hit Uruguayan international Diego Godin, deflecting past a befuddled Jan Oblak to cement a surprise result for the home side.

Atletico remains on 35 points, even with Barcelona, which have a match in hand by virtue of its Club World Cup victory early Sunday morning.
