Real Madrid welcomed Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium earlier today as they looked to earn a good result in front of their home supporters. Los Blancos made a decent start to the game but were held to a scoreless draw at half-time.
Vinicius Junior finally broke the deadlock in the 70th minute when he found the back of the net to put his team 1-0 up on the day. However, Cristhian Stuani equalised from the penalty spot just ten minutes later before Toni Kroos was sent off in injury time. The contest finished 1-1 with Los Blancos only securing a point from this home clash.
