In a thrilling Spanish Super Cup semi-final in Saudi Arabia, Real Madrid emerged victorious against Atletico with a final score of 5-3. The most bizarre moment came when Real’s goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, flapped the ball onto his shin and inadvertently sent it over the line.
The own goal was credited to Antonio Rudiger, a flailing teammate, under pressure from Atletico’s Alvaro Morata. Despite the calamity, the match ended 3-3 in normal time, proceeding to extra-time. Real secured the win with an own goal from Atletico’s Stefan Savic and Brahim Diaz’s breakaway strike. The game had initially seen Atletico take the lead through Mario Hermoso, only for Rudiger to nod to Real level.
Ferland Mendy and Antoine Griezmann scored for their respective teams before Rudiger’s unfortunate own goal. Dani Carvajal equalized for Real, and late drama unfolded with Savic’s deflection and Diaz’s counter-attack goal. While the climax was sizzling, the focus of many fans remained on Rudiger’s earlier misfortune, with Kepa’s hesitancy contributing to the unusual own goal.
