Against RB Leipzig, Vinicius Jr. scored the game-winning goal, but the Brazilian was incredibly fortunate to still be on the field at the time.

Soon after the half, Vinicius got into a fight with Willi Orban of Leipzig because the latter didn’t like how he handled a strong challenge.
The winger then squared up to Orban and gave him a two-handed shove in the throat.

When Orban went down, the Madrid supporter’s nerves started tingling as the referee approached the player, but he was only given a yellow card.

Play was often stopped for a VAR review, which increased tension in the Bernabeu, but the on-field decision was surprisingly upheld.

Vinicius Jr shoved Willi Orban in the throat but somehow escaped with just a yellow card .

The Leipzig players were incensed by the decision and probably even more so when Vinicius doubled his team’s lead with a spectacular finish in the last-16 match.

Jude Bellingham slid the 23-year-old in on the break, and he scored his first goal from just inside the area, finding the top corner.

Three minutes later, Orban scored for Leipzig, who were far from out of the game, thanks to the man that Vinicius had shoved.

But Los Blancos managed to hold on for the remainder of the game and advance to the final eight.

Vincius netted what proved top be the decisive goal shortly after the incident with Orban.
