On the morning of February 5, Real Madrid had a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid. The player who brought home the goal for Los Blancos in this match was the reluctant Brahim Diaz.

Brahim Diaz is only the third choice on Real Madrid’s аttаck in the match against Atletico Madrid. According to coach Ancelotti’s plan, players born in 1999 will enter the field in the second half and replace Vinicius or Joselu. However, all calculations changed at the last minute when Vinicius had a neck problem and could not play. Meanwhile, Joselu also cannot guarantee his physical strength. That’s why the Italian coach was forced to start Brahim Diaz from the start. When he entered the field, the 25-year-old looked bewildered and had not even warmed up.

Brahim Diaz also quickly responded to coach Ancelotti’s trust with a goal in the 20th minute. More noteworthy, the goal came from his first shot in the match against Atletico Madrid.

In addition to Brahim Diaz’s goal in the first half, the competition between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid was tense when players from both sides continuously collided. “WҺite Vulture” controlled the match from the beginning and had 17 shots in this match. However, only four of those times the ball Һit the target but found the correct position of goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

On the opposite side, Atletico Madrid appeared weak in аttаck. At the beginning of the second half, coach Simeone’s students put the ball into Real Madrid’s net but was rejected by VAR for offside. In the final minutes of the match, Atletico Madrid increased the pressure and the result also came to them when Marcos Llorente scored accurately, setting the score 1-1 in the 90+3 minute.

The draw helps Real Madrid continue to top the table with 58 points, but the gap between the “White Vultures” and the 2nd ranked team, Girona, is now only 2 points. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid has 48 points, ranking 4th.
