MADRID (AP) — Atlético Madrid conceded late to Real Madrid to draw 1-1 on Sunday and leave the league leaders at greater risk of being caught in their pursuit of the Spanish title.
Karim Benzema, back in the Madrid squad after an injury layoff, scored in the 87th minute after Luis Suárez’s early goal for Atlético at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
Atlético was in control most of the match and squandered several chances to add to its lead, paying the price in the end and wasting its opportunity to increase its advantage at the top of the league.
