Red Card Chaos: Getafe's Nyom Lasts 37 Seconds, Gifting Real Madrid Victory

2 days ago7 min read

In one of the most chaotic minutes in recent La Liga memory, a substitute's catastrophic error decided the Madrid derby. Getafe defender Allan Nyom, brought on in the 75th minute to help secure a hard-fought draw, saw his evening end after just 37 seconds following a reckless challenge on Vinícius Júnior.The 37-year-old's shockingly blatant clothesline tackle, executed far from the active play, left referee José Luis Munuera Montero with no option but to produce an instant red card. Nyom's moment of madness proved instantly costly.Just 20 seconds after the restart, Kylian Mbappé exploited the man-advantage, slicing through the disorganized Getafe defense to score the decisive goal. This sequence—substitution, red card, and concession—completely unraveled over 75 minutes of disciplined, collective effort from a Getafe side known for its defensive resilience.The self-inflicted collapse is a devastating blow for a team embroiled in a relegation battle, costing them a crucial point and leaving them without Nyom's experience for vital upcoming fixtures. For Real Madrid, it was a victory forged not from sustained dominance, but from the ruthless exploitation of a single, game-changing mistake—a hallmark of potential champions.
