00:00Angel Correa scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser for Atletico Madrid against city
00:04rivals Real Madrid in a derby that was halted for about 20 minutes midway through the second
00:09half following crowd issues.
00:11Shortly after Eder Militao scored Real's opener in the 64th minute, visiting goalkeeper
00:16Thibaut Courtois complained to officials that home fans behind his goal were throwing objects
00:20onto the field.
00:22An announcement was made over the public address system inside Atletico's stadium and, after
00:26speaking to both managers, the referee asked the teams to return to their respective dressing
00:31rooms.
00:33Atletico manager Diego Simeone and several of his players attempted to calm the situation
00:37by speaking to a group of home supporters in the stand.
00:40Play resumed and Brazil centre-back Militao's earlier deflected strike from inside the box
00:45looked like being enough for a real victory.
00:47However, substitute Correa routed Courtois to bundle home the leveller and, although
00:52the goal was initially disallowed, it was later awarded when the video assistant referee
00:56Villar, confirmed the Argentina international was onside when racing on to the through ball.
01:02There was still time for Atletico's Marcos Llorente to be sent off for a lunging late
01:06challenge on Fran Garcia, in a derby contest that only came to life following the temporary
01:10suspension.
01:12Simeone was critical of Courtois for celebrating Madrid's goal while looking at the supporters
01:17behind him.
01:18You can celebrate a goal but not by looking at the fans, having a go, making gestures
01:23like that," Simeone told DAZN.
01:25The fans don't just become angry by themselves, they become angry for a reason.
01:30However, the Argentine said those that threw objects should be punished even if they were
01:35provoked.
01:36''My opinion is that people who have committed incidents should be sanctioned by the club.
01:41We don't need these people.
01:43We need the people who accompany and support us,'' said Simeone.
01:47''We all have to help.
01:49The people who have thrown those lighters, it's not right.
01:53But maybe it doesn't help when us, the protagonists, undermine people, charge against people, provoke
01:58people and then people get angry.
02:01Of course it's not justified, but neither is the initial thing justified because otherwise
02:05we'll always be victims.
02:07The one who throws the cigarette lighter should be sanctioned and the one who provokes should
02:11also be sanctioned.''
02:13Atletico say they are working with police to investigate the incident and have already
02:17identified one fan who threw an object onto the pitch.
