Disallowed goal for Vinícius and his red card against Villarreal
Real Madrid faced Villarreal in an exciting match in the 8th round of La Liga at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, where a goal by Vinícius Júnior was disallowed before the referee showed a red card to the Brazilian star following a VAR review.
Vinícius scored Real Madrid's second goal in the 71st minute, following a pass from Jude Bellingham, amid celebrations from the royal team players and José Mourinho with the Brazilian winger, who is going through a tough time due to a dip in form in recent matches.
However, Real Madrid's joy was short-lived, as the referee returned to video technology in the 73rd minute to review a moment from the attack that resulted in the goal, before deciding to disallow it and send off Vinícius Júnior for pulling the hair of a Villarreal player during play.
The decision sparked anger among Brazilian star and Real Madrid players, intensifying the confrontation as goal celebrations turned into protests against the referee's decision.
