The Madrid derby between Atletico and Real was briefly interrupted on Sunday after Atletico fans threw objects onto the field on Sunday.

The referee stopped the Spanish league game and sent the players to the locker rooms around the 70th minute at the Metropolitano before play resumed after about 15 minutes.

Madrid had just scored the first goal of the match with Éder Militão, who celebrated near the sideline in front of Atletico fans.

Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois alerted the referee about the objects — including lighters — being thrown onto the field.

Atletico defender José María Giménez and midfielder Koke Resurrección went to talk to the fans in the section behind Courtois’ goal. That section is where usually the more radical Atletico supporters are located.

Atletico coach Diego Pablo Simeone also asked several times for the fans to behave.

When the players eventually returned to the field it was Simeone’s side who were able to salvage a point through substitute Angel Correa in the 95th minute.
