Antoine Griezmann levelled with a milestone goal for Atletico to become their all-time leading scorer RIYADH: Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 5-3 after extra-time in a pulsating battle in Saudi Arabia to reach the Spanish Super Cup final on Wednesday. Mario Hermoso and Antonio Rudiger exchanged early headed goals before Ferland Mendy sent Madrid ahead at the Al-Awwal Park stadium in Riyadh. Antoine Griezmann levelled with a milestone goal for Atletico to become their all-time leading scorer and Kepa Arrizabalaga’s own goal sent the Rojilbancos ahead, but Dani Carvajal smashed Madrid level and forced extra-time. With the game heading toward penalties, Stefan Savic’s own goal nudged Madrid ahead and Brahim Diaz wrapped up the win on the counter-attack with Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak stranded out of position. In Sunday’s final Madrid will face either Barcelona or Osasuna, who meet Thursday in the other semifinal.
