ToggleThe referee paused the Madrid derby midway through the second half after Atletico fans began throwing items onto the pitch. Real took the lead through Eder Militao in the 64th minute, and items were thrown from behind Thibaut Courtois' goal, before Atletico players, including captain Koke, and manager Diego Simeone appealed for calm.

Real's players were seemingly happy to keep playing, but the referee, in line with La Liga's protocols, decided to take the players off. Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was seen clearing items from his area, including a lighter that he handed to officials.
Both Simeone and Koke tried to calm their fans down, heading behind Courtois' goal to speak with them directly. After a break in play of around 20 minutes, the game was finally resumed.
Real are next in action against LOSC in the Champions League on Wednesday. Atletico play Benfica on the same night, in the same competition.
