Captain Rodriguez had the Estadio Gran Canaria fans roaring with his 51st-minute goal from just outside the box after an exquisite dummy by Javi Munoz. Ramirez doubled their lead in the 75th minute after the home side pressured Madrid to give up the ball in their own half.
Alvaro Morata pulled one back to give Atletico a lifeline in the 83rd minute when Rodrigo Riquelme sent in a long cross that Morata fired home from close range, but Las Palmas held on.
