Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal red-carded for elbowing Kike Perez.
In an eventful match against Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal was given a red card in the dying minutes after being involved in an incident where he appeared to elbow Kike Perez, adding to the challenges that Real Madrid faced during the game.
Rayo Vallecano, who recently appointed Perez as their manager, made it a tough outing for Madrid. The match began with a quick goal from Madrid’s side by Valverde, swiftly followed by another from Joselu, which was later disallowed. Despite the initial lead, Madrid struggled to create clear opportunities, especially without their top goalscorer.
The hosts, Rayo Vallecano, managed to equalize through De Tomas’ penalty after 27 minutes. Valverde came close to restoring Madrid’s lead with a shot against the post from 20 yards, but the match ended in disappointment for Madrid.
Carvajal’s frustration boiled over as he received his second yellow card for swinging an elbow at Kike Perez, resulting in his dismissal from the game.
The match concluded with a 1-1 draw, and upcoming games will see Granada facing Almeria, Real Sociedad visiting Mallorca, and Real Betis hosting Alaves.
The match was a testament to the competitive nature of La Liga, and the events unfolded with unexpected twists and turns throughout the game.
