Atletico Madrid drew Stuttgart 1-1 in the third round of the UEFA Champions League league phase Tuesday despite playing the final portion of the match with 10 men, while Lee Kang-in remained on the bench.
The draw at MHP Arena in Stuttgart, Germany, left Atletico with one win, one draw and one loss. Stuttgart remained unbeaten at 2-1-0.
Lee, who had started up front for Atletico in its first two league-phase matches, was named among the substitutes but did not enter the game.
Stuttgart opened the scoring in the 36th minute.
Angelo Stiller won possession with pressure inside the penalty area before Jamie Leweling collected the ball near the top of the box and scored with his left foot.
Atletico equalized two minutes into the second half.
Substitute Ademola Lookman, introduced at halftime, played a pass from the left side of the penalty area to Julian Alvarez, who redirected it with his left foot from the center of the box.
The goal was Alvarez's first in eight appearances in all competitions this season.
Atletico's chances of completing a comeback were hurt when midfielder Morten Hjulmand was sent off in the 64th minute.
Hjulmand made a late challenge on Stiller's ankle while contesting the ball in midfield, prompting the referee to show a straight red card.
Atletico held off Stuttgart's attacks while playing a man down to secure the draw.
