As I suspected and posted previously, in this match there will be many cards issued by the referee. Plus, I said that this match would be very tough. It is clear that Atteltico Madrid does not want to lose to its city rivals. and this match ended with a score of 2-2 in normal time. right with my prediction, if choosing a team is not ideal. That's why, the over option and targeting 3+ goals in this match. the results are as we see. Both teams played hard to win. Unfortunately, Atletico were unable to maintain their lead after they were ahead with a score of 2-1. In the 82nd minute, Joselu was able to equalize the score at 2-2. even though, the match was almost towards the end. In this match, Vini Jr did not play with his best performance. Apart from that, Nancho Fernandez also played badly in defense. referring to the chances of the two teams, there is no significant difference. ATM had 9 shots on target, 4 big chances. while Madrid, 6 shots on target, 3 big chances, 2 shots hit the post. Now, Atletico is back ahead in extra time in the first half with a goal created by Griezmann, now the score is 3-2.
The game was over and Atletico Madrid with a decent scoreline, the final goal was scored by Rodrigo Riquelme in the final minutes of AET which put them safely in their condition. With this result, Atletico Madrid also managed to avenge their previous defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup.
An interesting fact from my side is, I thought this match was a La Liga match which made me think that Girona was getting safer at the top of the standings, but I realized my misunderstanding when the match continued to AET.
Honestly, I don't want to comment much on Real Madrid's performance in this match since this match was a non-league match, but one thing that concerns me is that Atletico deserved to win with all the effort they put in.
