Real had taken the lead through Sergio Ramos in the first 15 minutes and had looked so superior for the first half an hour that it was hard to see a way they might lose it, but they let Atletico back into the game.
In that first half Luka Modric and Toni Kroos controlled the midfield and the Atletico plan to chase down Casemiro, which started with a foul on the Brazilian very early from Koke, never really got going. Instead, Atletico found themselves second to everything, passed around and penalised by referee Mark Clattenburg when they did commit fouls.
The goal was triggered by a Kroos free-kick whipped in from the left channel and flicked on nicely by Bale. The touch from the Welshman was crucial, taking the ball away from the Atletico defenders and into the path of Ramos who forced it past Oblak from close range. The replays showed that Ramos could well have been offside, although not by much, and still the goal stood.
With his team better in the later stages of the first half, Simeone brought on Carrasco at half-time and within a minute they had finally coerced the Real defence into their first error of the match. Pepe, from behind Torres, misjudged the pace and angle of a ball into the feet of the Atletico striker, went for a steal that was not there to be had, and committed the foul.
