Real Madrid 1-1 Girona: Points dropped by Los Blancos in title race
The hosts complained about a penalty given against them and Rodrygo's disallowed goal
Real Madrid dropped two points in the title race with a 1-1 draw at home against Girona.
Vinicius Junior put them ahead at the Santiago Bernabeu in the 70th minute of a end-to-end game.
Rodrygo had hit the post for Madrid and Yangel Herrera cracked one off the crossbar for the visitors.
After Vinicius struck, Cristhian Stuani netted from the penalty spot 10 minutes later to level, when Marco Asensio had handled a shot.
Madrid thought they had won it late on when Rodrygo forced the ball home but it was ruled to be in Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga’s control.
Toni Kroos was sent off in stoppage time, his first red card in his career, and Real Madrid’s first since April 2021 against Barca.
The Blaugrana are now just a point behind after they beat Valencia 1-0 on Saturday night.
