Real Madrid secured a 1-0 victory over Villarreal in La Liga, maintaining their 100% record. The match at Santiago Bernabeu was marked by tension, drama, and seven yellow cards, including a red card shown to Vinicius Jr. The Brazilian winger was sent off for pulling Nathan Saliba's hair during the build-up to his disallowed goal.
Despite wasteful chances, primarily from Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid needed goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to make crucial saves to stay level before Diomande's late winner. Real Madrid's win keeps them third in the league with 18 points from eight matches, six points behind leaders Barcelona, who also won 3-0 against Getafe.
