In the match of Madrid's "Real," a rare event occurred as the team broke "Villarreal" with a score of 1:0.

In the first half, Kylian Mbappe had a few chances, but there were no goals.

Finally, "Real" surged ahead in the 62nd minute when Yan Diomande scored with a precise shot. The goal was confirmed only after a VAR review.

VAR intervened in another situation as well. Vinicius made a great move onto the field and sent the ball into the net in the 71st minute, celebrating a goal, but attention was then drawn to an incident during the attack. Vinicius was seen pulling the hair of an opponent.

After reviewing the incident, the referee disallowed the goal and issued a red card to the Brazilian star.

Nonetheless, "Real" managed to hold on to the victory, but Vinicius will not play in "La Liga" for a while.
