IT’S A STRAIGHT RED

“Clear red card”? Endrick hits an opponent in the groin during Real Madrid’s win over Alaves, but only gets a warning.

Luis Garcia Plaza, the boss of Alaves, said that Real Madrid’s Endrick should have been sent off in their loss at Santiago Bernabeu.

WHAT CAME ABOUT?

The young star from Brazil came on for the last 20 minutes of Real Madrid’s 3-2 win over Alaves in La Liga on Tuesday night. Endrick, 18, got into a with Santiago Mourino, a defender, inside the penalty area. The forward seemed to hit Mourino in the groin with his knee. The judge chose to only show Endrick a yellow card, which made Plaza, the head coach of Alaves, very angry.

WHAT PLAZA SAID

“It’s a red card,” the Alaves manager said after the game. The last ten minutes should have been played with ten men. No one can say it wasn’t a clear red. The VAR is there to help if the judge missed it. It’s possible that they got too many yellows, but Endrick got a red.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, did not say that his own player should have been sent off, which was not a surprise. The fact that Endrick stayed on the field helped Madrid win and stay in touch with league leaders Barcelona, who have kept up their perfect start.
