Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. scored in the first half against Benfica but his celebration led to confrontations with the home team. The Brazilian winger reported racist comments from Prestianni, causing the match to stop under FIFA's racism protocol.
During the delay, Vinicius sat on the bench refusing to continue play, while a Benfica staff member received a red card. Later in the match, Vinicius was struck by an object thrown from the crowd.
