MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid's three-game winning streak in La Liga was halted by a goalless draw at Leganes on Saturday which dropped them to third in the standings. That result allowed Sevilla to leapfrog Atletico into second after they beat luckless Malaga 2-0 in sweltering conditions that left some fans requiring medical attention. SEARING HEATSevilla, who were beaten 2-0 at Atletico in their previous outing, saw off struggling Malaga with two goals in the space of two minutes in the second half. The Colombian won the ball high in the Malaga half and burst into the box past the shellshocked visiting defenders to slip the ball under goalkeeper Roberto. Elsewhere, Deportivo La Coruna earned a second win in three games by beating Getafe 2-1 and moving up to 15th.
