Atletico Madrid moved closer to clinching the La Liga title in seven years when they beat Real Soceidad at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday.
Yannick Carrasco and Angel Correa scored Atleti’s goals in a tense match that could have gone either way.
Igor Zubeldia scored late on for Sociedad but Atletico held on to win.
Atletico will win the Spanish title for the 11th time in their history if they win both their last two matches.
They play at home against 11th-placed Osasuna on Sunday, 16 May before ending the campaign a week later away at a Real Valladolid side that are 18th and in the relegation zone.
Atletico are four points clear of second-placed Barcelona but city rivals Real Madrid are the biggest threat to Diego Simeone’s side.
