Real Madrid beat neighbors Atletico Madrid 3-2 in the Madrid derby in the Spanish first division soccer league on Saturday night.
Real should have had the game completely under control after leading on 3-0 with just 12 minutes to play, but their neighbors scored two goals in a minute and had it not been for a fine save from Iker Casillas in injury time, Atletico would have taken a point that its spirit deserved, even though its football did not.
Atletico went into the game following the morale boost that was last week's 2-2 draw against Chelsea in the Champions League.
Real Madrid's Kaka (C) is congratulated by his teammates after scoring against Atletico Madrid during their Spanish First Division soccer match at Vicente Calderon stadium in Madrid November 7, 2009.
However, it didn't take long for Quique Sanchez Flores' side to be quickly brought back to reality after Kaka opened the scoring for Real Madrid after just five minutes.
Sergio Ramos looked to have fouled Atletico's Kleber Santana and the loose ball fell to Kaka, who smacked an unstoppable 25 yard shot into the corner of the Atletico net.
Atletico were clearly shaken and Real had the upper hand as the home side was unable to keep possession or deal with the pace of either Karim Benzema or Gonzalo Higuain.
Lassana Diarra went close with another shot before Marcelo doubled Real's advantage. Benzema did well in the Atletico area and fed the ball to the Brazilian who scored with a right foot shot from a tight angle.
