Vibrant emotions were experienced in the first 20 minutes of the duel between Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. There were two goals, and even a missed penalty and later annulled thanks to the use of the VAR, which had as one of the protagonists Diego Costa.
About 16 minutes into the first period at the Camp Nou, the Atlético de Madrid striker missed the clear goal opportunity after a great intervention by goalkeeper Ter Stegen. However, moments later, Judge Alejandro Hernández ordered that the execution be repeated for the advancement of the German. The referee, as punishment, showed the yellow card to the goalkeeper, who was surprised by the determination.
Already for the repetition it was not Diego Costa, but the Spanish Saúl Ñíguez changed penalty for goal and put the transitional tie. The penalty move originated through a violation by the Chilean Arturo Vidal against Yannick Ferreira Carrasco. Five minutes before missing the penalty, Diego Costa scored an own goal after a cross from the corner of Lionel Messi.
It was the partial 1-0 in favor of the local team. The Catalan team have no choice but to win to continue fighting for the title, after missing two points when they tied with Celta de Vigo in their last presentation. For now, Barcelona is second with 69 points, two units less than Real Madrid.
