Racing de Santander remain in the La Liga relegation zone after a goalless home draw with Atletico Madrid.
After a stagnant first half, the visitors took control after the break.
Atletico dominated the game in terms of possession and chances, but they could not find a way past Racing goalkeeper Tono.
Falcao and substitute Mario Suarez were both denied by the Spanish stopper, as Diego Simeone's men piled forward in search of the win that would take them back into the Champions League places.
Atletico are now unbeaten in six games.
