In the 8th week of LaLiga, Atletico Madrid faced Real Madrid at home.
In the derby, where Kylian Mbappe was not in the Real Madrid squad due to injury, national footballer Arda Güler was on the bench. The match at the Estadio Metropolitano was played in front of more than 70 thousand fans. While there were no goals in the first half, which featured back-and-forth attacks, the Whites took the lead in the 64th minute. Militao, who controlled the ball well in the penalty area after Vinicius Junior carried it from the left wing, sent the ball into the net with a powerful shot.
MATCH WAS INTERRUPTED
Following an Atletico attack after the goal, foreign objects began to be thrown at the Real Madrid goal. Goalkeeper Courtois showed the objects thrown at him to referee Busquets, who then stopped the match and went to the sidelines to have an announcement made.
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone and the players came to the front of the stands to calm the fans down. Referee Busquets then sent the players of both teams to the locker room. An announcement made at the Metropolitano stated that if any more foreign objects were thrown during the match, the game would be postponed.
After a break of approximately 15 minutes, the players of both teams returned to the pitch, and the match resumed from the 69th minute.
ATLETICO MADRID SECURED THE POINT IN THE FINAL BREATH
While the visiting team could not find a goal in the attacks they launched, Simeone made changes in the attack and intensified their pressure. In the 90+5th minute of the match, as it entered the final stages, Angel Correa, who slipped behind the defense, found the net. The goal, which was initially ruled out by an offside flag, was validated by a VAR decision. With no further goals in the remaining time, the sides left the pitch with a 1-1 draw.
