Real Madrid continued to dominate proceedings by and large throughout the half and saw a penalty for handball waved off by VAR before taking a 1-0 lead into the break.

The hosts drew level from the penalty spot early in the second half when Fidel beat Thibaut Courtois after Dani Carvajal was whistled for a foul in the area.

Both sides pushed for a go-ahead goal but none came, leaving Real trailing leaders Atleti by two points in the table after Diego Simeone’s side beat Getafe earlier in the day.
