Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid LIVE
LaLiga 2018-19 | Madrid Derby
Venue: Wanda Metropolitano
In a derby marked by video review, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 3-1 on Saturday to overcome their city rivals and return to second place in LaLiga for the first time since September.
An overhead kick by Casemiro, a penalty by Sergio Ramos, and a second-half goal by Gareth Bale led Real Madrid to their fifth straight league win. Antoine Griezmann scored for Atletico, who lost at home in the league for the first time this season.
Griezmann's goal was initially disallowed for offside but the VAR reversed the call. Video review also had to be used to confirm the penalty that led to Ramos' goal just before half-time, and to verify another offside call that disallowed a second-half equalizer by former Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata.
It was also used when Morata wanted a penalty call — not awarded — later in the game.
