Carrasco nets penalty as Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 1-0 (Highlights) 2021-2022

Atletico Madrid have secured their first win over Real Madrid in LaLiga since 2016.

 

Diego Simeone side recorded three points courtesy of a 1-0 victory at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Yannick Carrasco scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot after the referee overturned his initial decision not to award Matheus Cunha a spot-kick when he was brought down by Jesus Vallejo.

Both teams had great chances in the second half as Carrasco hit the post, while Antoine Griezmann fired wide on multiple occasions.

At the other end, Federico Valverde was denied twice by Jan Oblak, while Marco Asensio also saw a late free-kick saved. Los Rojiblancos held out for the three points to take them closer to securing a Champions League spot for next season.
