  "account": "Atletico Madrid triumphed over a 10-man Real Madrid in a heated Madrid derby, moving ahead of their rivals to second place in La Liga. The turning point occurred when Dean Huijsen fouled Giuliano Simeone, resulting in a red card and a penalty kick awarded by the video assistant referee (VAR). Alejandro Grimaldo converted the penalty, securing the victory for Atletico. Jonathan David added a third goal for Atletico, ensuring the points were safe. Julian Alvarez, who had joined Madrid from Barcelona on a free transfer, faced boos from the crowd. Antonio Rudiger scored a late header for Real, but they failed to equalize. Real Madrid trails six points behind leaders Barcelona, who have won all their matches, and one behind Atletico. Simeone finally secured a win over his former manager, Jose Mourinho, for the first time in a Madrid derby. The match was characterized by a scrappy first half, with both Simeone and two of his defenders receiving yellow cards. After the break, Atletico dominated, with 18 shots to Real's eight. Real Madrid's defeat marks their second in seven La Liga games since Mourinho's return, and they currently sit fourth in the table. Real Betis drew 1-1 with Deportivo in a recent match.",
