Fans have slammed Vinicius Junior for receiving a red card in Real Madrid's 1-1 draw against Valencia. The winger was held fairly quietly throughout the 79 minutes he spent on the pitch by Los Ches. His four shots at goal did not find the mark, and he notably missed a big chance.
In the 76th minute, the Brazil international was tackled cleanly in the box, with the Valencia defense clearing the ball away. While getting up from the ground, though, Vinicius was taunted by Los Ches goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski.
The winger reacted by getting up and shoving the shot-stopper near the face, and Dimitrievski fell to the pitch. Referee Cesar Soto Grado headed to the VAR monitor to review the incident and, despite showing the goalkeeper a yellow card for his antics, he showed Vinicius the red card.
