Real Madrid lost the victory in the 90+5 minute

In the early morning of September 30, Real Madrid was held to a 1-1 draw by Atletico Madrid in round 8 of La Liga.

Real Madrid could not preserve the result.

The Madrid derby was played at a fast pace. Atletico took the initiative to close in and tackle aggressively, aiming to suffocate the space of Real’s skillful players.

Real Madrid had more possession in the first half but struggled to get close to the home team’s goal. With Kylian Mbappe absent, the La Liga champions could only try their luck with Federico Valverde’s long-range shots. The Uruguayan midfielder forced Jan Oblak to show his talent with a daring tackle in the 17th minute.

On the other hand, Atletico also had a good chance in the 9th minute. Julian Alvarez broke through and shot from a tight angle but could not beat Thibaut Courtois’ reflexes.

Controversy flared up at the end of the first half. Rodrygo went down in the home team’s penalty area after being challenged by Jose Gimenzez. However, both the referee and the VAR team refused to award a penalty to Carlo Ancelotti’s team.

In the second half, both teams continued to play closely. In a seemingly deadlocked match, Real suddenly made a difference from a high ball situation. From Vinicius’ cross, Eder Militao was there at the right time to finish with one touch, breaking the net of the home team Atletico in the 64th minute.

At one point the match was stopped because home fans threw strange objects onto the field.

After opening the scoring, Real Madrid took the initiative to play slowly to preserve the result. In the 90+5 minute, when the away team’s fans were thinking about victory, Atletico Madrid unexpectedly found an equalizer. Substitute Javi Galan made an impressive pass for Angel Correa to escape and face the goalkeeper. The Argentine player handled the ball calmly to get past Courtois, before finishing into an empty net, bringing the derby back to the starting line.

The incident continued to happen in the 90+9 minute. The home team was down to 10 men after Marcos Llorente was sent off. However, the short time was not enough for Real Madrid to find another goal.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw. In the round where Barca “fell off the horse”, Real could not win 3 points. Real ranked 2nd with 18 points, 3 points behind their arch-rivals in the lead. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid ranked 3rd with 16 points.
