Kylian Mbappe was sent off for a reckless foul that left Real Madrid with a nervy second half before they saw out a 1-0 win at relegation-threatened Alavés, who also finished the match with 10 men.
Eduardo Camavinga gave Real the lead in the 34th minute, scoring from outside the box with a brilliant curled shot, after an earlier goal by Raúl Asencio was ruled out following a video assistant referee check.

Mbappé’s violent tackle on the Alavés midfielder Antonio Blanco left Real a man down before half-time. The player count, however, was level in the second half after Vinicíus Júnior was subjected to a similar foul by Manu Sánchez, who also was sent off.
