Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 2-0 in the Madrid derby at the Metropolitano, a result shaped by the first-half sending-off of Real defender Dean Huijsen. The centre-back was shown a red card, leaving Jose Mourinho's side to play the majority of the match with ten men.
Atletico capitalised on the numerical advantage, taking control of the game and scoring twice against a depleted Real Madrid defence. The defeat leaves Real Madrid without points from the derby and increases the pressure on Mourinho, who returned to the Metropolitano as Real Madrid coach.
Jude Bellingham struggled to influence the match for Real Madrid, who were unable to mount a sustained response after going a man down. Atletico's win strengthens their position in the city and hands them bragging rights in the first derby of the season.
Real Madrid will need to regroup quickly, with the red card set to rule Huijsen out of upcoming fixtures through suspension. Atletico, meanwhile, will take confidence from a disciplined performance against their rivals.
