  "account": "In a tense La Liga derby clash, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. Jonathan David scored the second goal for Atletico, securing the win despite 10-man Real Madrid. Dean Huijsen was sent off early in the second half for Real Madrid after pulling down Giuliano Simeone in the box, resulting in a penalty that Alejandro Grimaldo converted. Antonio Rudiger pulled one back for Real Madrid late in the game. Atletico rose to second place, five points behind leaders Barcelona and one ahead of Real Madrid, who suffered their second defeat of the season. The game was marked by tension and a lack of excitement, with Real Madrid unhappy about challenges from Cristian Romero and Lee Kang-in in the first half. Atletico coach Diego Simeone disagreed with Mourinho's approach, stating that coaches should respect others, referees, and colleagues. Atletico midfielder Koke emphasized that the victory proved his side are capable of winning trophies, stating that they can compete against every team if they give 100%.",
