Real Madrid held to a draw by Atletico Madrid

The highlight of round 8 of the Spanish Championship (La Liga) was the Madrid derby. And this match left behind exciting, fiery and even chaotic developments. As the away team, Real Madrid still entered the match more excitedly and created many good opportunities.

But it was not until the 64th minute that a goal appeared. From Vinicius’ cross, Militao handled it and then fired a powerful shot to open the score for Real Madrid. Just 5 minutes later, chaos began on the field when Atletico fans continuously threw objects onto the field.

The match was forced to be suspended for more than 20 minutes before it could resume. At this time, it was Atletico’s turn to put pressure back. After a series of missed opportunities, the home team finally got a equalizer in the 90+5 minute.

Angel Correa broke through, dribbled past goalkeeper Courtois and put the ball into the net. Initially, the referee did not recognize the goal because he thought Correa had handled the ball. However, VAR helped determine the goal was valid.

 

 

 

Not stopping there, a few minutes after the equalizer, Atletico Madrid also lost a man after Marcos Llorente’s tackle on Fran Garcia.

With this 1-1 draw, Real Madrid only has 18 points. They are currently ranked 2nd in La Liga, 3 points behind the leader Barca. Atletico is right behind with 16 points.
