Bellingham Last-Minute Victory for Real Madrid Against Valencia After Vinicius’ Red Card

Jude Bellingham delivered a clutch performance, scoring a stoppage-time winner to secure a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid against Valencia, despite being reduced to 10 men after Vinicius Junior’s red card. The win lifted Madrid to the top of La Liga.

Valencia took an early lead through Hugo Duro, capitalizing on a rebound from Javi Guerra’s initial effort. However, Luka Modric equalized in the 85th minute after Bellingham’s assist, setting the stage for a late comeback. Bellingham then pounced on a defensive error in the 96th minute to seal the victory.

Vinicius was sent off with 10 minutes remaining after an altercation with Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski. Despite this setback, Real Madrid rallied to secure all three points.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti praised Bellingham’s resilience after missing a penalty earlier in the match, describing his performance as “extraordinary.” The win keeps Madrid two points clear of Atletico Madrid, though the latter has a game in hand.

Valencia, under new manager Carlos Corberan, showed initial promise but remains in the relegation zone. A late effort from Luis Rioja, which hit the post in stoppage time, nearly salvaged a point for the hosts.
