Mbapp's last-gasp penalty lifts Real Madrid to 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano in
Spanish league

MADRID (AP) --- Kylian Mbapp converted a penalty kick deep into stoppage time
as Real Madrid salvaged a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano to get back within a
point of Spanish league leader Barcelona on Sunday.
Vincius Jnior also scored for Madrid after again being jeered by fans at the
Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Jude Bellingham, also booed when the lineup was
announced, had to be replaced 10 minutes into the match because of an apparent
left hamstring injury.
Madrid was coming off a 4-2 loss against Benfica that dropped the team out of
the eight automatic spots for the round of 16 of the Champions League. It will
face Benfica again in the playoffs.
Mbapp scored his eighth goal in his last five matches with Madrid with the
last-gasp penalty that allowed Alvaro Arbeloa's side to keep pace with
Barcelona, which won 3-1 at Elche on Saturday.
The boos toward Vincius were subdued after he scored in the 15th minute with a
superb goal. The Brazil international cleared three defenders before sending a
right-footed shot into the top corner.
Rayo, which played a man down from the 80th after Path Ciss was sent off with
a straight red card for a hard foul, equalized with Jorge De Frutos in the 49th.
Vallecano, which threatened at times at the Bernabeu, also saw Pep Chavarra
shown a second yellow in the final minutes of added time.
