Jonathan David Shines as Atlético Madrid Defeats Real Madrid
Jonathan David scored in the 59th minute to help Atlético Madrid secure a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the Madrid derby at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

David's goal followed shortly after, marking his third consecutive league goal since joining Atlético Madrid earlier in September. Real Madrid, despite being down to ten men, managed to score a late goal through Antonio Rüdiger in the 89th minute, but Atlético held on to their lead.
