Atlético de Madrid has a great advantage ahead of Luis Suárez’s goal. The chances of the first victory in five years in the Madrid derby arose. But Diego Simeone’s team did not live up to expectations. Real Madrid avoided defeat in Karim Benzema’s last goal.
The Madrid derby ended in a 1-1 draw at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium on Sunday night (March 7). Real tied two games in a row. Atlético drew for the third time in the last six games.
Diego Simeone’s team dominated the local field from the start. However, Real created several scoring opportunities. French striker Karim Benzema missed a few solo occasions. However, behind this is the feat of Atlético goalkeeper Ian Oblak.
Luis Suárez opened the scoring first in the game. After a 10-week penalty for betting, Kieran Tripie found the ball with a ball from his own half and found Marcos Lorente on a great pass. The Spanish midfielder passed the ball to Suárez. The Uruguayan forward immediately beat Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois with a superb shot.
Real’s request for a penalty was rejected before the break. The referee decided not to award the penalty after watching the replay several times, suspecting that the ball was in the hands of the Atlético Felipe forward.
Kurtoa made great saves after the break. The Belgian goalkeeper disappointed Ianic Karasco once and Suarez twice. Instead, in the last 10 minutes of the match, Oblak twice deprived Benzema. But in the 7th minute, Kurtoa couldn’t stop Benzema’s perfect shot exchanging passes with Casimiro.
Atlético de Madrid tops the La Liga points list with 59 points from 25 games. Barcelona scored 58 points in more than one game. And three reales with 54 points in the same match.
