    Time:90'
    • Atlético de Madrid
    • Real Madrid
    • 90+6' There it is, it's all over. Real have won their away leg of the Madrid derby 2-1.
    • 90+6' Van der Vaart...SCORES!!! And that should be that!
    • 90+5' PENALTY TO REAL!!! FIVE MINUTES INTO STOPPAGE TIME!!! STUPID TACKLE FROM HEITINGA ON DRENTHE!!
    • 90+2' Six minutes of added time!!!!
    • 90+2' Forlan teases his man before lashing a left foot drive wide.
    • 90+1' Superb free-kick, though the Real wall was a mess. If it had done its job, that would not have been a goal.
    • 90' Atletico have a free-kick on the edge of the area...AND SIMAO SCORES!!!! Casillas was rooted to the spot.
    • 88' Real win possession on the edge of their area and break...Van der Vaart plays in Higuian who shoots...and Leo Franco makes a double-save to keep his team in it!!
    • 87' Simao now goes down in the area looking for a penalty, but the referee waves play on. Quite rightly too. Ridiculous appeal.
    • 84' A slip from Cannavaro presents the ball to Aguero inside the area...but there is Pepe again to make the block! Superb defending from the big Portuguese. Cannavaro gives him a well-deserved pat on the back for that saving challenge.
    • 80' Luis Garcia wins possession in midfield for Atletico and charges through the centre, but both Forlan and Aguero run off in different directions as he looks to thread a ball through the middle. That rather sums up Atletico's play so far in this second half.
    • 77' The fact that there are only 20 players on the pitch means we have been left with quite an open game, though Real are more cautious in committing men forward now. With 15 minutes to go, they will be looking to close out the game quietly.
    • 72' Simao whips a fine ball into the near post, but there again is that man Pepe to clear the danger. He has the potential to go on and become something of a legend at this club, which is more known for the quality of its midfielders and attacking players throughout history than for its centre-backs.
    • 70' Atletico have a free-kick in a decent position now...but Simao launches it well over the bar. Poor effort.
    • 68' Van der Vaart replaces Sneijder for Real.
    • 67' Sergio Ramos spots Leo Franco out of position and goes for goal from 45 yards, but he shoots well wide.
    • 63' Aguero again causing problems in the Real half, he picks out Forlan, he drills in a low shot at the near psot...and Casillas tips it round the post for a corner.
    • 61' Real enjoying a useful spell of possession now, though Aguero has won possession back and hares off up the right wing. He centres it for Maniche who lets fly from distance...and forces a decent save from Leo Franco!!!
    • 56' Simao is brought down on the left flank by Ramos, right after De la Red had hauled down Forlan. As ever, Atletico can fo nothing with the free-kick though.
    • 53' Higuain with a fantastic volley on the turn...but straight at Leo Franco! Fantastic technique...the rebound almost falls to Raul...but eludes the Real captain and Atletico scramble it to safety!
    • 48' Higuain cuts inside fromt he right flank and drills in a low riht foot shot...Leo Franco fails to gather...but finally takes it at the second attempt.
    • 47' It drops for Forlan just outside the area...but he can only volley high and wide under pressure from Pepe.
    • 46' Atletico get the second half underway.
    • 45+3' There's the half-time whistle. Plenty of drama in the Madrid derby so far, and it's Real who lead 1-0.
    • 45+1' Assunçao booked for a seemingly innocuous challenge on Sergio Ramos.
    • 45' Three minutes of stoppage time at the end of the first half.
    • 42' The tempo has somewhat dropped out of the game now after a turbulent few minutes.
    • 38' Van Nistelrooy is off too!!!! It's all kicking off here! The Dutchman is none too happy to say the least! He caught Maniche very late. The referee obviously decided it was so late that it had to be deliberate, and was worth a red! Suddenly we're at ten apiece here.
    • 35' Marcelo gets forward down the left wing for Real - and so he might, after all, his opposite number Perea is no longer on the pitch. He pulls it back for Raul...who rather scuffs his shot, allowing Leo Franco to gather comfortably.
    • 32' Perea sent off for an elbow on Sneijder!!!! Atletico are down to ten men!! He deserved to go. It was definitely a deliberate elbow, end Sneijder is bleeding from his nose.
    • 30' Raul takes a pass from De la Red superbly and rounds the 'keeper, but the flag is up for offside. Replays show it was tight, and probably wrong, but very, very marginal.
    • 28' Maniche looks for Aguero through the centre, but that pass is too straight, and Cannavaro ensures it runs straight through to Casillas.
    • 25' Aguero gets to the byline and turns it back across goal, but Casillas is there to make the interception. The little Argentinian has looked sharp tonight.
    • 22' Ujfalusi comes in at the back post to meet a corner...but he can't get his head to it. He is claiming he was pushed, but he won't get a penalty for that.
    • 21' Real still pressing. Sneijder with another corner....he flights it into the area...Pepe is there, it hits Raul, rebounds off Leo Franco...AND VAN NISTELROOY GRABS HIS SECOND OF THE NIGHT! NO! OFFSIDE! To be fair, the linesman got it right there.
    • 18' Sniejder tries a short corner routine with Raul, and plants the ball straight into the stands.
    • 16' Corner to Atletico after Casillas can only turn Pernia's rocket behind.
    • 15' Pepe has looked absolutely imperious at the heart of Real's defence so far. An absolute tower of strength and athleticism.
    • 11' Excellent turn from Forlan, but he is dispossessed by Segio Ramos in the centre of defence.
    • 9' Perea clatters into Raul. He's lucky not to be booked for that.
    • 6' Aguero is released by a superb ball over the top of the defence from Mariano Pernia...he lashes it across goal...and that narrowly eludes Forlan at the back post!!! Excellent direct play from Aguero.
    • 5' De la Red is brought down 30 yards from goal. Raul hits the free-kick...but Leo Franco is alive to the danger this time.
    • 3' Now Sneijder hits the bar with a rasping effort from 25 yards!!!! Real are rampant!!!
    • 2' Atletico are stunned!!! Leo Franco was caught way out of position for the goal, and was beaten at his near post! To be fair, no goalkeeper should be getting beaten at their near port from 30 yards, and it wasn't as if Van Nistelrooy's effort was an absolute rocket.
    • 1' GOAL!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! RUUD VAN NISTELROOY SCORES INSIDE 35 SECONDS!!!
    • 1' Real get the game underway in an electric atmosphere at the Vicente Calderon.
