Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory against Elche during the 6th day of the Spanish Liga, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring both goals. The match ended in a dramatic fashion as a controversial penalty was awarded to Real Madrid in the 96th minute for a foul on Pepe. Cristiano Ronaldo converted the penalty to seal the win. However, the decision didn’t sit well with the La Liga Arbitration Commission, leading to the suspension of the referee who officiated the match. The referee will be ineligible to officiate the next two La Liga matches. The penalty decision has sparked debates about its validity.
