Ronaldo's opened the scoring in the 53rd minute, but Antoine Griezmann made in 1-1 within four minutes of the restart. Atletico Madrid could have made it 2-1 in the 59th minute, but Keylor Navas dived to his right to make a stunning save to deny Koke.

It was a close game at the Santiago Bernabeu as both teams created good chances. It was all Real Madrid during the first half but Atletico Madrid played a lot better in the second half and created chances of their own.

The Costa Rican goalkeeper denied Diego Costa and Saul Niguez with some fine saves, either side of the break.

Both teams could have won the game in the end, but a 1-1 draw seemed a fair result on the night
