Getafe's Nyom Sees Historic 37-Second Red Card After Brutal Foul on Vinícius Jr.
A moment of shocking indiscipline decided the Madrid derby as Getafe defender Allan Nyom was sent off just 37 seconds after entering the pitch as a substitute for a brutal foul on Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior. The incident, which occurred in the 75th minute with Getafe defending resolutely, instantly shifted the match's momentum.Nyom's reckless challenge, a clear professional foul executed far from the ball, left referee José Luis Munuera Montero with no option but to produce an immediate red card. The veteran defender's brief appearance, intended to shore up the defense, instead decimated his team's structure and strategy.Real Madrid capitalized on the numerical advantage within moments, with Kylian Mbappé scoring just 20 seconds after the restart to seal a victory that had previously been in doubt. The sequence—from substitution to red card to decisive goal—unraveled 76 minutes of disciplined defensive work from Getafe and highlighted the fine margins in elite football.The sending-off reignites discussions about the physical treatment Vinícius Júnior consistently receives from opponents. For Getafe, the self-inflicted setback could carry significant weight in their fight for La Liga survival, while for Real Madrid, it was a demonstration of their ruthless efficiency in exploiting an opponent's critical error.
