Full Match Report:

Real Madrid lost the Madrid Derby at Civitas Metropolitano, with referee Miguel Ortiz facing heavy criticism for his performance. In the first half, Romero stepped on Bellingham's knee. Although the referee reviewed the play, he did not issue a red card. Lee Kang-in stepped on Valverde's left ankle and also did not receive a red card. These two decisions influenced the outcome of the entire match, allowing Atlético Madrid to secure victory in the second half.

Before the 30-minute mark, there were hardly any dangerous attacks, but after that, controversy dominated the derby. In the 35th minute, in a 50-50 challenge, Bellingham touched the ball first, but Atlético Madrid defender Romero's boot studs brutally caught Bellingham's left knee.

Miguel Ortiz initially showed a yellow card to Bellingham, but then VAR official Trujillo Suarez advised the referee to review the footage. After watching the replay, the referee revoked Bellingham's yellow card and showed only a yellow card to Romero, without sending him off.

Nine minutes later, the referee made another crucial error in judgment. Lee Kang-in made a sliding tackle on Valverde, with his boot studs catching the opponent's left ankle. The referee clearly saw the entire incident up close but did not issue a red card, nor even a yellow card to Lee Kang-in. This time, VAR did not intervene either.

In the 50th minute, Miguel Ortiz ruled a foul by Huijsen on Giuliano, awarding a penalty to the opponent and showing Huijsen a yellow card. After a VAR review, the referee went to check the footage and this time decided to send off Huijsen with a red card. Grimaldo converted the penalty, making the score 1-0.

In the 59th minute, Jonathan scored, extending the lead to 2-0. In the 76th minute, Jan Diomande had a one-on-one opportunity that could have made it 2-1 for Real Madrid, but Oblak made a superb save.

In the 89th minute, Real Madrid finally scored. Bernardo Silva took a free kick, and Rüdiger headed it in, making the score 2-1. From then until the final whistle, Mourinho's team pressed hard in search of an equalizer, but could not find it.
