Their dominance was continued by real Madrid over Atletico Madrid as Los Colchoneros have now did not be their town rivals in 25 league matches, comprising almost 14 years. Entering the 152nd El Derbi madrileAo things seemed setup for Atletico Madrid to eventually break their near 14 year winless ability against Real Madrid. With Los Merengues sleeping a few starters and Atletico with a not quite first decision choice, this should have now been the afternoon for Atletico to shine. Rather Real Madrid returned from an early on shortage for a 2-1 win. Radamel Falcao got Atletico Madrid off to a wonderful start heading in a combination in the 4th minute and staking Atletico to an earlier 1-0 lead. Koke"s free kick from 25-yards was saved by Diego Lopez but the owner not able to control the recovery and Diego GodAn was in the right position, sending the ball back across to Falcao at the post for the headed finish. The goal was Falcao's 50th in Manhunter Liga. Bananas were gone by the Vicente CalderAn nevertheless the happiness lasted only ten minutes as Real Madrid equalized because of an goal by Francisco Juanfran. Angel Di Maria's free kick started the difficulty, deflecting off one player at the very top of the box before taking a deflection off Juanfran facing his goalkeeper, changing the flight of the ball enough to send it past a diving Thibaut Courtois. One Real Madrid supporter had an interesting party following the goal: The 2 objectives calmed down the busy early speed but rather of free moving play we got plenty of fouls and an increasingly edgy atmosphere as the referee frantically tried to help keep things in check by giving out yellow cards just like the ice cream man giving out popsicles on a warm day. Courtois made an enormous save just before the break on the best side after Di Maria discovered Karim Benzema alone in place. The French striker struggled to get get a handle on of the ball giving the Atletico keeper time to make and recover a sliding tackle to break-up the pressure. Atletico dominated the opening 18 minutes of the 2nd half with Real Madrid having virtually no control. Therefore needless to say in the moment, seemingly from nowhere, Di Maria snuck him behind the safety running onto a pass from Benzema and beat Courtois to place the guests forward 2-1. Whilst the minutes ticked away Atletico turned more disappointed and more and less and less able to mount a consistent attack. The addition of Xabi Alonso by Jose Mourinho helped relax the Madrid midfield and improved their person considerably. The final time Atletico beat Real Madrid was in October of 1999...25 category matches before. Because that win Atletico have just managed six draws combined with 19 losses against their rivals. Madrid expands their advantage in second place to six points over Atletico. FRollow @SBNationSoccer on Twitter
