MADRID (AP) — Radamel Falcao converted a penalty kick two minutes into stoppage time as Rayo Vallecano pulled off a 1-1 draw with Atlético Madrid to end the rival’s three-game winning streak in the Spanish league. Falcao struck the top of the net at the Metropolitano Stadium after a handball by José María Giménez inside the area.

Álvaro Morata had opened the scoring for Atlético in the 20th.
