Jakarta - Valencia stole a 2-1 victory when visiting Real Madrid's home ground in the Spanish League at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid, Saturday.
The defeat leaves Real on 63 points, three behind leaders Barcelona, who play Real Betis on Sunday morning WIB. Valencia, meanwhile, moved up to 15th with 34 points.
The match was only 11 minutes old when hosts Real were awarded a penalty. The penalty was awarded after the referee judged that Kylian Mbappe had been fouled by Cesar Tarrega in the penalty box. A VAR review later further confirmed the referee's decision.
This time the penalty was taken by Vinicius Jr. However, the Brazilian's kick was anticipated by Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.
It was Los Che who were able to break the deadlock in the 15th minute. From a corner kick, the ball was continued by Mouctar Diakhaby with a header to rip through Real's goal guarded by goalkeeper Fran Gonzalez. 1-0 to Valencia's advantage.
From being a hero, Diakhaby almost became a scapegoat when in the 21st minute, his attempt to clear the ball actually sent the ball into his own net. Luckily for Diakhaby, the goal was disallowed by the referee because after a VAR review, it was found that Mbappe was in an offside position. The 1-0 lead for the visitors lasted until halftime.
