Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid have won the first Madrid Derby of the 2022/23 season, defeating Atletico Madrid at the Civitas Metropolitano.
The final minutes of stoppage time are wild and back and forth, with Real Madrid more attacking than might be expected. But, they manage to run out the clock and take the 2-1 victory, thanks to first half goals from Rodrygo and Fede Valverde. Mario Hermoso gave and took away, scoring one for Atletico but then getting himself sent off.
Real Madrid continue to keep up the pace and head into the international break as La Liga leaders. The first derby of the season saw our team come out on top at the Cívitas Metropolitano, building on their spectacular start to the season, having won all nine games played so far (six in La Liga, two in the Champions League and the European Super Cup). The win this evening was set up thanks to a great first half, in which Rodrygo and Valverde were on the scoresheet. Ancelotti’s side were solid in the second half, but Hermoso reduced the deficit in the 83rd minute.
