"Suma en definitiva el Atlético, que se aleja del Valencia y blinda su tercera plaza en el campeonato a costa de un rival que cae a puestos de descenso por primera vez desde la jornada 14"

¿Qué significa "suma en definitiva" y "que cae a puestos de descenso"?

I understand that it says the Atlético climbs up in the spanish football table and expands the gap between them and Valencia, but it would be great if someone could write me the exact translations.

Answer

I must say you that the language used in sports chronicles is not the most academic and recommended. Usually they used many repeated phrases that are well understood by sports fans.
"Suma en definitiva", means that in conclusion, or at the end, the Atlético adds points.
"cae a los puestos de descenso", means that, by the moment, the Deportivo is one of the three worst teams, so if it continues this way, it will be relegated to the second league next year.

I totally agree with Leandroadolfo, the sport languaje is not the best to try to learn english, as usually it is not gramatically correct and they invent some words to give more emotion.
