James Rodriguez put the Champions League winners in front, but an equaliser just minutes later sets up what should be a tense second leg

Real Madrid and James Rodriguez were thwarted by a late Raul Garcia strike as they drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Supercopa de Espana.

Ronaldo tidak bermain cemerlang

James put Madrid in front with a scrappy goal on 81 minutes and was on course to be the match winner until Garcia's close range finish with just two minutes of normal time remaining.
Carlo Ancelotti made two changes to the starting team that claimed the Uefa Super Cup with a 2-0 win over Sevilla on August 12.
Xabi Alonso took Rodriguez's place in midfield and Marcelo came in at left-back with Fabio Coentrao dropped to the bench.
In their first competitive game since losing to Real in the Champions League final, La Liga champions Atletico had just six players from that starting XI in the line-up again.
Pre-game, a touching tribute was paid to Real Madrid great Alfredo Di Stefano, who died in July at the age of 88.
The hosts started the better and more lively of the two teams, pushing Atletico deeper into their own half, with rash challenges from Koke and Guilherme Siqueira seeing both yellow carded.
Mario Mandzukic and Saul had opportunities for Atletico soon after, but goalkeeper Iker Casillas stood firm to deny both efforts.

Bale and Atletico Player hand shake

Mandzukic had another decent chance after Casillas could only punch a clearance straight to him, but the Croatia international's attempted lob went straight into the goalkeeper's hands.
Gareth Bale almost opened the scoring two minutes into the second half as he forced Atletico goalkeeper Miguel Angel Moya into a strong save from an angle.

Moya was needed again in the 68th minute as he pushed away a powerful Bale free-kick, before Toni Kroos volleyed the rebound well over from inside the area.
Karim Benzema put a header onto the roof of the net before Rodriguez, who replaced an anonymous Cristiano Ronaldo at half-time, made the breakthrough.
Kroos played Daniel Carvajal in down the right and his cross was aimed for Benzema before a scramble led to Rodriguez finishing via a deflection. But Atletico would find a way in the 88th minute as Garcia tapped in Koke's corner after being left unmarked right in front of Casillas. Real had a penalty shout turned down late in the encounter as they were left on the back foot heading into the second leg.
