Atletico Madrid continued to press and maintained their advantage amidst confusion among Real Madrid players, before Alvarez fired a powerful shot that was saved by Courtois. He then attempted another strong shot, but Courtois managed to deflect it to a corner that went unused.

In the second half, Julian Alvarez struck a powerful shot from outside the box, but Courtois saved it. The referee awarded a penalty for Mbappe, which Vinicius bizarrely missed in the 70th minute.

In the 71st minute, Giuliano Simeone fired a strong shot, but Courtois skillfully saved it. Then, Correa squandered a golden opportunity with a shot over the bar in the 90th minute, leading to the end of the second half with Atletico Madrid in the lead.

In the first extra time, both teams attempted to threaten each other's goal, but without any real chances. The second extra time also ended without any opportunities, leading the teams to a penalty shootout that favored Real Madrid 4-2.
