Real Madrid won the Derby when she wanted

* The referee annulled a goal wrongly threw out a legal and Van Nistelrooy

* The Atletico had lost earlier to Perea, who suplió their weariness with kicks

Points are given by the Manzanares added Chamartin in the day that is broadcast schedule. Real Madrid will cost more conquered in any other field. Atletico were also the wrinkle before kick off and thus it is impossible to change your fate, which lasts 10 years.

After a first part of white domination, which won a major advantage that the goal from Van Nistelrooy at 36 seconds of the game, came the reaction rojiblancos in the second, guided by the logic imposed, including requirements for its technical Javier Aguirre , Who had drawn a strange formation, which promised crazy 24 hours before did not commit.

Real won in the last six minutes of the discount disputed penalty converted by Higuaín. It can be said that when she wanted and when he left the judge's whistle, in deplorable debut in a derby. Madrid was much better at the beginning and received the arbitration punishment with a goal annulled evil, which would have meant a 0-2 at 21 minutes and the excessive and unjust expulsion of its author, Van Nistelrooy, at 39. It is one of the times in which we must give the reason to Bernd Schuster, the white coach, who said the referee was not the reason that his team won by 1-5.

And yet, at the time of the regulatory limit, the rojiblancos celebrated as a triumph of the tie Simao in a free launch direct non Casillas guessed it, still on the other side of his goal. For them meant the culmination of a volunteer in a second part that is closest to what is supposed's Atletico Madrid, with players such as Aguero, always sensational despite its permanent wear, and with Simao, Maniche and Banega options open attack unsuspected in the first half of the encounter.

Closer to the truth is that Madrid, who also lived hard times at the low and overloading of effort, was left to master because he likes to speculate on the scoreboard and beat on the counter attack. Pepe left to decide their fate and the central was again superb in the court and the anticipation. Would win from the first minute and, actually, except for a couple of shots slightly diverted, the Atletico not wondering goal gave Casillas no chance to show off his qualities.

As was tied and with six minutes longer, the Madrid returned to the load. The discount was served to him and Leo Franco to close a good performance, his first in the league, which began with that first goal in that could do more to prevent it. And finally, the greyhound Drenthe, who earlier had tried to force action by Luis Garcia as a penalty, claimed the maximum penalty, this time clear, and an absurd lack of Heitinga. Franco guessed the trajectory of the ball, but was diverted to millimeters.

The systems are useless if the half-minute match fit a goal. It is the lament of Javier Aguirre, who also should rethink some of their perpetual Querencia: Pernia, Assunçao ... And the elimination of the bands in the initial training, concentrating a porridge of midfield annulling the virtues of some giant and other defects. A team match to start and with the defeat as a starting point.

Throughout the match, the Mexican had to mobilize their nerve to complete a puzzle impossible. First with the expulsion, logic, a Perea who had returned from Brazil, Colombia and came exhausted their lack of energy, with kicks. It was a good day to alienate Antonio Lopez, who came to rebuild the block. In the rest was left to Pernia in the booth and replaced him Simao, deputy surprising. Thanks to him, the Athletic breathed. Later he was injured Ujfalusi, Luis Garcia pulled out to the middle field and placed Assunçao of Central, where he did much more than as a steering wheel cover that does not plug anything. Cléber worthy heir. Throughout this hotchpotch, Ever Banega got all the right wing, in defense and attack.

In the end, the Real Madrid without Diarra or Guti, and deported without their top scorer with notable defects in the area of creation, is that a whole lot more cut and Atletico with the muscles of glass. One is already very close to the leadership. The other, about a dozen points of the lead in seven days.
