Story summary
Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 2-1 in a heated La Liga derby match on September 20 at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid. The match saw Atletico rise to second place with 15 points, trailing Barcelona by five points, while Real Madrid dropped to fourth with 13 points. Early in the second half, Dean Huijsen of Real Madrid was sent off for denying a goal-scoring opportunity, leaving his team down to ten men. Despite this disadvantage, Real Madrid managed a late consolation goal from Antonio Rüdiger. Atletico's goals were scored by Alejandro Grimaldo and Jonathan David in the second half.
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho was highly critical of the officiating post-match, presenting printed photos to media during his press conference to highlight what he believed were missed red cards for Cristian Romero and Lee Kang-In, both from Atletico. Mourinho argued that these missed penalties significantly impacted Real Madrid's performance in the second half when they played a man down nearly the entire time. Despite the loss, Atletico manager Diego Simeone remained content with his team's victory. The controversy over officiating decisions overshadowed much of the post-match discussion. Both teams now face their next league matches after an international break.
