Atletico Madrid Defeats City Rival Real Madrid in Spectacular Derby

Real Madrid had beaten its city rival in the Supercopa, but Atletico did not want a second exit in a row. The visitors initially came closest to the opening goal, but Bellingham hit the frame.

Goals did come at the tail end of the first half. Lino scored the 1-0 at the far post, Oblak completely missed a free kick in extra time.

Atletico had to recover after that own goal, but just before the hour mark Morata took advantage of poor communication between Loenin and Rüdiger.

It was only in the 82nd minute that substitute Joselu was able to force extra time, but Griezmann struck with an unparalleled dribble.

Riquelme recorded the final score on the counter. 4-2: after a spectacular derby, Atletico advances.

Axel Witsel and his mates inflict Real’s first defeat since September 24.
