Real Madrid is now only three points behind Barcelona at the top of La Liga after a tough 1-1 draw with foes Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid and their neighbors have not lost a home game this season.
In a tense first half, neither team had many chances. The guests had a hard time making clear-cut chances, so they had to use long shots. The home team, on the other hand, only had one real Madrid goal threat, and that came from Julian Alvarez.
Though it looked like the game would end in a tie, Eder Militao scored for the guests just after the hour mark to turn things around. Vinicius Jr. got free on the left side and chipped the ball to Militao at the back post, who was ready to thump home a blocked shot.
It was the first time this season that Diego Simeone’s team had given up a home league goal, and Carlo Ancelotti’s skilled team almost could have won all three points. Angel Correa, a substitute, scored a late goal, so in the end, both teams got a point. Here are the scores and highlights of the players from a very heated game in Madrid.
