With a stoppage of 20 minutes, due to disturbances and without a winner, the Madrid derby in La Liga ended. Atlético Real drew 1-1 at the Metropolitano in an 8th round match.
In Antoine Griezmann’s 500th game in the Championship, Eder Militao opened the scoring midway through the second half. Former Atlético goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois provoked fans and objects such as lighters and a plastic bag with unclear contents flew in his direction.
The main actors were extreme home supporters in black hoods who had threatened to turn up at the match in disguise to insult Vinicius and cause trouble without being recognised.
After Diego Simeone and the club’s players failed to calm the situation, the referee stopped the match. Nearly 20 minutes later, the match was resumed, and in added time, Angel Correa, who appeared from the bench, equalized.
