It didn't take for Atletico Madrid to open the scoring in Saturday's Derbi madrileño.

Less than 10 minutes into the rematch of last season's Champions League final, Atletico took a 1-0 lead when Tiago threw himself above six Real Madrid players in the six-yard to head the ball past a flat-footed Iker Casillas.

The goal was Tiago's first of the season.
