Vinicius Junior was the central figure in a dramatic 1-0 win for Real Madrid. After scoring a stunning curling goal in the 50th minute, Vini Jr. reported being racially abused by Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni.

The match was halted for nearly 10 minutes as the referee activated UEFA’s anti-racism protocol. Amid chaotic scenes, Madrid players briefly threatened to walk off, and Benfica coach Jose Mourinho was later sent off as well for his protests. Despite being struck by objects thrown from the crowd, Vinícius finished the match, securing a vital first-leg lead.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United have put past 5 goals in the 1st half itself against Azerbaijani side Qarabag at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium in Baku. Catch all the live action right here.
