True striker Kylian Mbape Equalizer from the second half overturns Julian Alvarez's penalty for Atletico in Madrid Derby.
Kylian Mbape scored in his first derby against Atletico Madrid while Real Madrid fights for A 1-1 withdrawal And keep your thin lead in the Spanish League.
Julian Alvarez took Atletico ahead from the penalty area in the 35th minute in Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday. The kick was awarded after the referee was called to review a challenge of Samuel Lino's aurelien tuamam.
Mbappe leveled in the 50th minute for the hosts, who remained a point in front of the second ranked Atletico in the standings after sticking to Jude Belingham's blocked efforts to put home.
Belingham struck the crossbar with his head while Madrid looked for a second goal while Atletico goalkeeper Jan Obak did his rescue to deny Rodrigo, Vinitsy Junior and Mbape to split the points in the Spanish capital.
“We knew how to hang out there and we had our chances,” Alvarez said. “We are in the battle and we will stay in it right until the end.”
Atletico, who spent the bigger past summer to acquire Alvarez and other reinforcements, tries to add to the League titles in 2021 and 2014 under the coach Diego Simeone.
They arrived in fine form after winning 19 of their previous 21 games in all competitions and showing why they have the best protection in the best five leagues in Europe with 15 goals, giving way to 23 games.
On Saturday, although losing a defensive unwavering Robin Le Normand to a suspension, Simeone's country was again rocky in the back, disappointing Real Madrid's star attack, which failed to create a single goal at the first half.
True coach Carlo Ancelotti quickly accepted that it was a game of two halves: “We controlled the second half well. We put in and had chances. We played a very good second half. The first half was different. We were very slow and not aggressive enough.
“The punishment affected the team. After the punishment, we played very slowly before. We did not take advantage of the field. In the second half we opened the field and made it wider and took advantage of it. We created a lot of problems in the second half, “he said.
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti's coach Carlo Ancelotti left the Lucas Vasquez's makeshift back line, the regular midfielder Tchouameni, the youth player Raul Assensio and Fran Garcia.
It is the reckless section of his shoe from Tchouameni in the end that it actually has Lino, but still requires VAR to intervene in order to be awarded the kick.
Former Manchester City striker Alvarez gently stroked his sentence in the middle when Tibaut Kratoa dives on the left.
Antoine Griezman again showed his great value for Atletico with a precise passage even under forced. The French midfielder has twice put perfectly weighed balls that left Alvarez and Lino in a good position to take the shots inside the area, but the clumsy touches from the two ruined the options.
Rodrigo caused Madrid's return shortly after halftime, when he dropped past the Galan and Lino on the right and slipped a ball to Belingham in the heart of the box.
The Belingham shot struck a defender and fell to MBAPP, who had missed Atletico's first derby for the 1-1-1 season in September-Zadi injury to launch a home for his first goal against Real Madrid rivals.
Madrid poured forward, looking for a second goal with Atletico, shaken. Vinniki fell to the left and warmed the Belingham ball, which tore his head from the carpentry windows.
Simeone changed both of her full ties with Rainildo and faded Molina in the 63rd, but Olak still had to come to the rescue of Atletico three times.
“We played very well in the first half,” Simeone said. “In the second half, they scored immediately, then hit the bar. It was very intense.
“After 20 minutes in the second half, we also had our capabilities … Julian (Alvarez) slipped on one (Marcos) Lelande several times. After all, it was a draw, (but) both teams thought they could win the game. “
Barcelona, third, is already five points behind Madrid before his trip to Seville on Sunday.
