Till Monday, Goa reported 2,583 COVID-19 cases and 17 deaths due to the disease. PTI RPS GK GK 07140901 NNNN earned a penalty when he was pulled down by Aleksandar Sedlar in the area.

Goalkeeper Manuel Reina blocked his strike, but a video review helped the referee order a redo of the spot kick after Sedlar entered the area too early.

Morata stepped back up and on a second try rifled the ball into the top corner in the 29th minute.

"Missing and then getting back up and trying again is part of football," Morata said about the penalty.

The former Chelsea and Real Madrid striker was back on the scoreboard in first-half injury time when Jorge "Koke" Resurrección stole the ball and played Marcos Llorente clear to reach the end line, where he found Morata at the far post to tap home.

The goals were Morata's 10th and 11th of the season in league play. Mallorca could not muster a comeback and Renan Lodi hit the crossbar for Atlético before Koke scored in the 79th. His shot deflected off a defender to give Reina no chance to save.

Mallorca was left five points from safety with four games left. (AP)
