First half competition
A series of injuries left Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti relying on temporary backings from Lucas Vázquez, regular midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, youth players Raul Asencio and Fran García.
A reckless boot of Tchouaméni was eventually discovered by a video commentary referee Samuel Lino and sent Álvarez to a fine.
