KOLKATA:- Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid met on Sunday night in La Liga. It was the first Madrid derby of the season in this tournament. Atletico had a chance to move up to second in the league table with a win against Mbappe-less Real. There was an added advantage for them as the stadium was full of spectators at home.
But in the middle of the game, the match was stopped for about 15 minutes due to the violence of Atletico fans. Various objects including lighters were thrown at Real’s goalkeeper Courtois. In such a situation, Atlético Madrid footballers can be seen appealing to the audience to calm down. The Madrid derby means excitement, be it on the pitch or off the pitch. Even today it was not otherwise.
The two teams were evenly matched from the start of the match on Sunday. That’s why the first half ended 0-0. Real Madrid scored the first goal in the 64th minute of the second half. Their combination scored. In the 63rd minute, Real Madrid got a free kick when Vinicius Jr., who was advancing towards Atletico’s goal with the ball, was fouled. From there, Luka Modric passed to Vinicius, who shot a cross from his left and Militao put the ball into the net. Then, in the 68th minute, Atlético fans started throwing whatever they could get their hands on, including lighters, at the Real goalkeeper. In such a situation, the referee is forced to stop the game. After about 15 minutes of stoppage, the game started again.

When the game starts, both teams start attacking-counter-attacking. The footballers of Real and Atlético created multiple goal opportunities. But no one could do the work. At a time when it seemed that Real would win the Madrid derby, Atletico broke that dream by scoring a goal. Angel Correa equalized with a goal in 5 minutes of injury time. Although the goal was initially ruled offside, the referee later used VAR to find that Correa was not offside. The goal was therefore declared fair. Still, there was drama left in the match. At the 8th minute of injury time, Atletico Madrid’s Marcos Llorente was shown a red card for fouling Real’s footballer. In this case too, he was first shown a yellow card, later the referee decided to show a red card using VAR.
