Hair grab, removals and scandal: Real Madrid beat Villarreal

In the match of the eighth round of the Spanish La Liga season-2026/2027, Real Madrid hosted Villarreal in its field. The meeting took place at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the Spanish capital. As a result of the confrontation, the minimal victory with a score of 1: 0 was won by the hosts of the field.

The only goal in this meeting was scored in the 62nd minute by Real Madrid midfielder Jan Diomande. This effective blow was his debut in the composition of “cream”.

In the 74th minute of the match there was a scandalous incident. Real Madrid player Vinicius initially scored the goal, but after watching the video replay, the referee canceled the goal. It turned out that during the goal attack, the Brazilian footballer grabbed the defender of the opponent Salib by the hair. As a result, the forward received a direct red card.

It is noteworthy that the head coach of Madrid Jose Mourinho at the time of taking the goal ran onto the field for celebration, ran to the corner flag and hugged his ward. The arbitrator did not apply sanctions to the mentor, despite the fact that according to the regulations he was subject to removal from the field.

Subsequently, the former judge of La Liga Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez in a comment to the AS edition explained what punishment Vinicius Junior can expect. The expert stressed that the removal in this episode is obvious, and in fact the Brazilian striker faces a suspension for a period of two to four matches.

According to the results of eight rounds played in the Spanish championship, Real Madrid scored 18 points and secured the third position in the standings. Villarreal has eight points in its asset and occupies the 13th line.
