Atletico 1-1 Real Madrid | La Liga | Post Match
Atletico vs Real Madrid
Angel Correa netted a 96th-minute leveller as Atletico Madrid came from behind to draw 1-1 with Real Madrid in Sunday night's pulsating Madrid derby at Wanda Metropolitano.
The opening half of La Liga action, as expected, was incredibly tight, with Real Madrid just shading the possession (54%), while both teams had two shots on target.
Atletico's Julian Alvarez was denied by Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois before Jan Oblak kept out Federico Valverde down the other end, and Jude Bellingham then saw an effort saved by the home side's stopper, with the two teams entering the half-time interval on level terms.
Real Madrid made the breakthrough in the 64th minute of the match, with Eder Militao firing home at the far post after Vinicius Junior had delivered a dangerous cross into the penalty box.
There was then a delay in the match, as some objects had been thrown onto the field after the opening goal, which led to Atletico boss Diego Simeone speaking with the home supporters in an attempt to calm proceedings.
Eventually the play resumed, and Oblak was almost immediately called into action again to keep out a brilliant drive from Vinicius, with Real Madrid starting the better after both sides made their way back onto the field.
Atletico made changes in an attempt to force their way back into the contest, and they spectacularly levelled through Correa in the 96th minute; the goal was initially disallowed for an alleged handball, but replays showed no offence, with the forward's close-range finish securing a point for Diego Simeone's side, who had Marcos Llorente sent off for a poor challenge late on.
Despite the late disappointment, Real Madrid have extended their unbeaten run in La Liga to 40 matches, just three shy of Barcelona's record from 2017-18.
Carlo Ancelotti's side remain second in the table, three points off leaders Barcelona, while Atletico stay third, five points off the summit after eight matches.
