Atletico Madrid substitute Luciano Vietto struck late to rescue a 1-1 La Liga draw against Real Madrid last night, while Cristiano Ronaldo will have to wait to set a new club scoring record.

Vietto slotted the ball home with seven minutes to go after Karim Benzema had given visitors Real the lead early on.

Real defender Sergio Ramos brought down Tiago Cardosa for a penalty after 21 minutes but Antoine Griezmann’s effort was well saved by Keylor Navas.

The stage was set for Ronaldo to break Real’s scoring record but the Portuguese had a quiet match and remains level with Raul on 323 goals.
