Real Madrid's derby win slipped away as Angel Correa's late equalizer earned Atletico Madrid a 1-1 draw amidst crowd chaos.

Atletico Madrid salvaged a dramatic 1-1 draw against Real Madrid in a heated derby match halted temporarily due to crowd issues.

Eder Militao's 64th-minute strike seemed sufficient for Real Madrid, but Angel Correa's stoppage-time equalizer, initially disallowed, was awarded after VAR intervention.

The match was suspended for 20 minutes following Thibaut Courtois's complaints about objects thrown from the stands. Atletico manager Diego Simeone and players intervened to calm the situation.

Simeone criticized Courtois for celebrating Real's goal while gesturing at Atletico fans, citing past incidents of Real fans throwing lighters at the goalkeeper.

Real manager Carlo Ancelotti deemed the suspension “correct” and remained positive, focusing on the point gained.
