The Madrid derby ended with the points shared, but it will be a game remembered for a lengthy break due to missiles thrown from Atletico Madrid fans at Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Shortly after Eder Militao put Real Madrid in front in the second half, former Rojiblanco favourite Courtois, who directed celebrations towards the section behind the goal at the Metropolitano, was pelted with objects including a lighter.
The players were taken off the field for almost 15 minutes before returning, with the game resuming with 21 minutes remaining on the clock.
Atletico powered forward as the game approached its conclusion, with Courtois making a fine stop to deny Lino, but finally got back on level terms six minutes into injury time via Angel Correa – with VAR overturning an initial offside decision.
In the closing minutes, Marcos Llorente was sent off for a rash challenge, ending an incident-packed match, but one which will be overshadowed by the actions of the Atletico fans.
