Atletico Madrid Grab Late Equalizer in Heated Derbi Madrileno

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid Draw in Heated Derbi Madrileno

The first Derbi Madrileno of the 2024-25 La Liga season ended in a dramatic 1-1 draw, with Angel Correa scoring a stoppage-time equalizer for 10-man Atletico Madrid. The match was marred by a temporary suspension due to objects thrown by Atletico fans at Real Madrid players.

Real Madrid took the lead in the second half through Eder Militao's goal. However, the match was halted when Atletico fans threw lighters and other objects onto the field, targeting Real Madrid players. After a delay, the match resumed, and Atletico Madrid pushed for an equalizer.

Their efforts were rewarded in stoppage time when Correa, who had come on as a substitute, slotted the ball past Thibaut Courtois to level the score. The draw leaves Barcelona three points clear at the top of the table, despite their loss to Osasuna on Sunday.

The match was a tense and physical affair, with both teams having chances to win. The result will be a disappointment for Real Madrid, who were looking to extend their lead at the top of the table. However, Atletico Madrid will be pleased with the point, especially considering they played with 10 men for the majority of the second half.
