Jose Manuel Jurado''s late goal gave 10-man Atletico Madrid a 1-0 win against Osasuna on Monday in the Spanish league.

Jurado received the ball on the edge of the area and curled his shot past goalkeeper Ricardo Lopez in the 79th minute at Atletico''s Calderon Stadium.

Atletico midfielder Simao Sabrosa was sent off for a second yellow card in the 57th after a clumsy challenge on Cesar Azpilicueta. The result lifts Atletico to 10th place on 34 points. Osasuna is 13th on 31 points.

In the 24th, the unmarked Antonio Lopez headed just wide from Sabrosa''s corner. Soon after, a swift Atletico counterattack led to Forlan finding some space but his shot was anticipated by Lopez.

For Osasuna, Nacho Monreal nearly surprised goalkeeper David de Gea in the 50th with a lob that went just over the bar.

With striker Sergio Aguero unusually quiet, Atletico threatened only sporadically. In the 61st, Ibrahima Balde replaced Diego Forlan in attack as Atletico adjusted following Sabrosa''s dismissal.

Osasuna nearly scored when De Gea stretched to push a shot by Krisztian Vadocz over the bar.
