  "account": "In a spirited Madrid derby, Atlético Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid, climbing above their rivals into second place in La Liga. The decisive moment came when Dean Huijsen fouled Giuliano Simeone, resulting in a penalty and Huijsen's red card. Jonathan David capitalized on Simeone's cross to secure the win for Atletico. Real Madrid, who now sit six points behind leaders Barcelona, had a late chance with Antonio Rudiger heading in Bernardo Silva's free-kick, but could not equalize. The hosts had already introduced Julian Alvarez, who was booed upon his entry, while Antonio Rudiger's goal for Real provided a fleeting hope. This victory marks a perfect afternoon for Atletico boss Simeone, who had lost all three previous derby meetings with Mourinho during his first tenure in Madrid.",
