Referee Miguel \u00c1ngel Ortiz pointed to the spot and, after a VAR review to reassess the card colour rather than the penalty itself, sent Huijsen off. \u00c1lex Grimaldo converted from the spot to put the hosts in front.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>David doubled the lead soon after, turning in Simeone\u2019s low cross from six yards after Lee Kang-in had worked the ball to the Argentinian on the right. Antonio R\u00fcdiger pulled one back late on with a header from a dead ball, sparking a brief rally that Atl\u00e9tico held off. Thibaut Courtois produced a fine save to deny Cristian Romero, while Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 cleared off the line from Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez as Real searched for a leveller that never came.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>It was Jos\u00e9 Mourinho\u2019s first derby back in charge of Real Madrid, and it ended in defeat. According to the Guardian, it was 13 years since Mourinho and Diego Simeone had last met in this fixture, on the night Atl\u00e9tico won the Copa del Rey at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u. This one was similarly heated, with repeated confrontations, a card reversed for Jude Bellingham after a VAR review, and both Atl\u00e9tico\u2019s goalkeeper coach and Real\u2019s assistant sent off at half-time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Simeone described derby week in Madrid as carrying a special energy and celebrated wildly at the final whistle. Mourinho, by contrast, arrived at his press conference with images of two incidents he believed should have produced red cards against Atl\u00e9tico, involving Lee Kang-in and Cristian Romero. He argued that those moments, rather than his own team\u2019s performance, were central to the match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Guardian\u2019s report also raises questions over how Huijsen conceded the penalty and red card that shaped the contest, and over how passive Real became once reduced to ten men. Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 was barely involved after Mourinho\u2019s double substitution failed to change the pattern of the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/onefootball.com\/en\/news\/huijsen-red-card-swings-madrid-derby-atleticos-way-43497639\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The turning point came shortly after the interval when a long ball from David Hancko&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4957,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2Fv22Fphotobooth2Fcms2Fen2F434976393Fdate2026-09-21.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
