The last four matches of the 7th round were played in the Spanish "Primera" league.
The Madrid derby took place at the "Vicente Calderon" stadium, where "Atletico" and "Real" faced off. Diego Simeone's players did not allow the opponents to create any dangerous opportunities in the second half, but only managed to equalize at the end of the match.
The match started with an active game from the "Real" team. Rafael Benitez's players immediately started to dictate their terms to the opponents from the first minute, and in the 9th minute, they scored a goal.
After an excellent pass from Dani Carvajal, Karim Benzema scored with a header. However, despite their good play, the "white team" did not rejoice for long, as Antoine Griezmann could have equalized in the 22nd minute, but Keylor Navas saved the Frenchman's penalty kick.
During the rest of the match, "Real" did not create anything dangerous, and in the 83rd minute, "Atletico" finally broke through the opponents' defense. In the second half, "Atletico" dominated, but a great performance by K. Navas prevented them from securing a victory.
"Real" missed a great opportunity to rise to the top of the Spanish league. With 16 points, the "Villarreal" club remains the leader, despite suffering a defeat today.
