Karim Benzema and Mesut Oezil did the damage in the first-half as Real Madrid picked up their fourth derby win this season with a 2-1 win over Atletico.
Benzema opened the scoring on 11 minutes with a clever chipped finish while Oezil doubled the lead against the run of play on 33 minutes. Sergio Aguero scored a consolation goal four minutes from time but los Blancos were able to hold onto their slender lead to secure a valuable win.
