Kylian Mbappé was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge in the first half of Real Madrid's nervy 1-0 LaLiga win at Alavés on Sunday.
Madrid had just taken the lead in the 34th minute with an Eduardo Camavinga goal -- after Raúl Asencio had an earlier goal disallowed for a foul -- when Mbappé was dismissed in the 38th minute, after a VAR check, for his high tackle on midfielder Antonio Blanco.
The player count was leveled in the second half, after Vinícius Júnior was caught on the calf by defender Manu Sánchez, who also was sent off.
