The Colombian international scored in his 10th successive competitive fixture for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon outfit, who managed their top of table position with the win over Real Sociedad.
Atletico continued their winning streak in La Liga thanks to goal machine http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Sociedad put Simeone's team on the ropes, but were unable to keep the prolific Colombian at bay, paying dearly for their mistake at the full
time whistle.
El http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tigre-c40732 decided the match in favour of Vicente Calderon based entity with a stroke of genius from an 89th minute free-kick. Falcao’s growing reputation looks to have no end, as he specialises in giving Los Colchoneros wins just around the full
time whistle.
Incidentally, it is the tenth straight game that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/River-Plate-c40368 striker has hit the back of the net. His goals have resulted in victories Atletico, with seven of them attributing to their successes in La Liga. The 26-year-old is playing
on the scale of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, and has yet to disappoint Atleti faithful in the 2012/13 La Liga season.
Atletico had a hard time in Anoeta, before an intense La Real who put Simeon’s men on the ropes for the duration of the fixture. However, Los Rojiblancos silver bullet called was there to rescue them for the umpteenth time this season.
At the Anoeta, Atletico played possibly their most difficult fixture to date in the current league campaign. Nevertheless, they could always smell victory with Falcao in the starting eleven. The Manzanares club have grinded out results, irrespective of the
manner in which they perform.
La Real overwhelmed their visitors, but failed to send the ball past Thibaut Courtois. Alongside the Belgian youngster, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-Vela-c8558 and Antoine Griezmann ruffled up their defences
time and time again. 
Intentions of the hosts were soon, with the young French attacker troubling Courtois after fifteen seconds.  The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 loanee was forced to take the ball off him, proving his credentials for the first team spot.
With the victory under their belts, Atletico continue in 2nd place, equal on points with Catalan giants, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, who secured a 4-5 win at the Riazor.
