Despite Madrid’s victory, Vinicius’s red card left a bitter taste for Los Blancos, with the winger running the risk of a potential ban which could keep him out of the Clasico on October 25.
Yan Diomande scored his first goal for Real Madrid to secure a 1-0 victory over Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday. The 19-year-old winger found the net following an assist from Federico Valverde, moving Jose Mourinho's team into provisionally third place in La Liga.
The match saw drama in the closing stages when substitute Vinicius Junior had a goal disallowed before being sent off via VAR review for pulling Nathan Saliba's hair. The red card puts the Brazilian winger at risk of missing the upcoming Clasico on October 25.
