Vinicius misses penalty, Real Madrid lose after conceding a last-minute goal
Real Madrid 1: 2 Valencia
200th La Liga match in the Real Madrid jersey. Despite scoring a goal, Vinicius Junior will not want to remember that milestone match for sure. Real lost 2-1 to Valencia at home after conceding a goal in added time. And he is the biggest responsibility for that loss. He wasted the opportunity to give the team the lead in the 13th minute by missing a penalty. Valencia took the lead 2 minutes later after Vinicius’ weak shot was saved by Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Muktar Diakhaby headed in a great corner from Diego Lopez. Real, who were 1-0 down in the first half, equalized in the 50th minute. The source of this goal was also a corner. Luka Modric’s corner came to Vinicius through Jude Bellingham. The Brazilian winger made no mistake in equalizing. After squandering several scoring opportunities, Real conceded a goal in the 5th minute of added time. Substitute Ugo Duro headed in a great cross from Rafa Mir. With this loss, Real gave the advantage to arch-rivals Barcelona. Real have 63 points after losing five in 30 matches. Barca have one less point after playing one match. If Real beats Betis tonight, Barcelona will reduce the gap to 6. Vinicius misses penalty
