Match Report

Atl. Madrid beat 10-man Real Madrid 2-1 at the Metropolitano in a fiery Madrid derby that stayed goalless and tense through a physical first half before exploding into life after the break. The game turned in the 52nd minute when Dean Huijsen was sent off for hauling down Giuliano Simeone, with VAR pointing to the spot. Alejandro Grimaldo calmly converted the penalty a minute later, and Atl. Madrid struck again just six minutes after that as Jonathan David finished off a Simeone cross to make it 2-0, his third goal in three league games. Antonio Rüdiger gave Real a late lifeline with a header from a Bernardo Silva free-kick deep into stoppage time, but it wasn't enough to rescue a point. The win lifts Atl. Madrid above their rivals into second place in La Liga, while Real Madrid suffer their second defeat of the season under mounting pressure. Barcelona remain clear at the top of the table.
