In the intense Madrid derby - a goalless draw

On Saturday late evening, the much anticipated 7th round match was played. Madrid's "Real" tried to bounce back at home after a painful defeat in Seville against the next capital city team - "Atletico". The winner in this clash was not determined - both teams failed to score goals and shared a point. The match started more actively with the support of a large number of fans for Madrid's "Real" club. However, "Atletico" did not make any mistakes in defense and did not provide easy opportunities for the hosts to score. A few times "Atletico" went on dangerous counterattacks, but it was none other than former "rojiblancos" goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois who saved the "white team" - once the Belgian blocked a dangerous shot from Antoine Griezmann, as well as reacted to Diego Costa's raid. In the second half, Julen Lopetegui's pupils took complete control, but ball control did not secure a goal. Perhaps the most real chance to put the hosts ahead was for Marco Asensio, who remained alone against the goalkeeper after a pass from Toni Kroos. The young Spaniard failed to outsmart the Slovenian - Jan Oblak saved the shot. At the end of the match, Madrid's "Real" had the initiative, but the winning goal was not seen at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium - the meeting ended in a draw. The "Whites" did not take advantage of the opportunity to surpass "Barcos" - there is still complete equality in the standings. "Sevilla" surpassed "Atletico" after this round, which dropped to fourth place.
