During the night from Wednesday to Thursday, the first "Supercup" matches were played in Spain, where the champions of "La Liga" and the King's Cup met.
At the "Vicente Calderon" stadium, players from Madrid's "Atletico" and "Barcelona" tested their strength against each other. In a fierce battle, the winner was not determined and the teams played to a draw.
The first half began with slight domination by the Catalans, but Diego Simeone's players handled themselves well both in the midfield and in defense without any problems.
The first goal did not take long to arrive - in the 12th minute, David Villa, after a pass from Arda Turan, forced the fans in the stands to rise from their seats as he beat his former teammate Victor Valdes.
Throughout the rest of the first half, the game was balanced. Without a doubt, "Barca" had more possession of the ball, but they failed to create any real danger in front of the hosts' goal.
In the second half, the visitors from Barcelona showed that they were not willing to give up and pressed aggressively from the beginning.
However, Gerardo Martino's players managed to equalize the score. In the 67th minute, after a high pass from Dani Alves, Neymar, who had replaced Pedro, rushed to the ball and sent it into the opponent's net with his head.
Both teams tried to score the winning goal in the remaining time, but the result remained 1-1 when the referee blew the final whistle.
The next decisive match of the Spanish "Supercup" will take place at the "Camp Nou" stadium on August 29, at the same time.
