Real Madrid Draw with Levante After Marcelo Red Card

Related Topics: La Liga, Real Madrid FC, Ejection

Marcelo was sent off for Real Madrid as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Levante at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday—their second successive stalemate in La Liga.

Ivi Lopez gave the visitors a shock lead after 12 minutes before Lucas Vazquez levelled the scores shortly before half-time.

Real failed to take their chances in the second half, and Marcelo received his marching orders late on for kicking out at Jefferson Lerma.

Real started with intent, and Karim Benzema would have had a golden opportunity to open the scoring just five minutes in had he not been denied by a superb tackle from Lerma.
