When his Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema had a penalty against Osasuna with 11 minutes to go, the Brazilian appeared to think it was a foregone conclusion.

He raised his arms in the air, seemingly celebrating the goal before it had even gone in, and then the inevitable happened…
The spot kick was missed and Vinicius Jr quickly put his arms back down.
It was at a critical juncture in the game as the Brazil international had put Madrid 1-0 up after in the 42nd minute.

Osasuna then restored parity through Kike Garcia five minutes after half-time.
The visitors to the Bernabeu then had a player sent off late on with David Garcia given his marching orders for bundling over Benzema in the box.
The France striker stepped up and crashed his shot against the crossbar and it went out for a goal kick.

The miss proved costly as the match was drawn 1-1 and Real Madrid dropped points for the first time this season.
It also allowed rivals Barcelona to overtake them into top spot of LaLiga, by virtue of goal difference.
Barca have only conceded one goal all season and the first El Clasico on October 16 is shaping up to be a mouth-watering encounter.
