Atlético Madrid vs. Real Madrid, 2014 Spanish Super Cup: Rojiblancos win at home

(h/t @FansidedGIF)

Thanks to a goal in the second minute from Mario Mandzukic, Atlético Madrid won the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup, 1-0, claiming the trophy 2-1 on aggregate against their city rivals Real Madrid. It’s the first time Atléti have lifted the Super Cup since 1985.

All hell broke loose midway through the first half after a series of hard fouls -- or dives, depending on your cheering interest -- led to Diego Simeone being sent off. After Juanfran was hammered and bleeding from the mouth from a foul, the referee refused to let him back on the pitch for several minutes as Real Madrid bombard the Atléti goal. Moya made two great saves to the match, but Simeone’s anger with the fourth official led to him being sent to the stands.
