Subaltern Raúl Ruiz, seriously gored

Moment in which the bull's right piton injures banderillero Raúl Ruiz.

The Madrid subaltern Raúl Ruiz suffered a serious goring in his right thigh while trying to nail the second pair of flags to the sixth steer of the afternoon. After showing off in the first, after enduring the animal’s gallop with pride, the bull then went to the bull with greed and many feet from a long distance, he gained ground on the bullfighter, squeezed him fiercely in the encounter, and the banderillero did not have time to get out of the face of the bull, who dealt him a sharp blow, lifted him off the ground with the piton on his right thigh and released him with a crash on the sand. It was evident that Raúl Ruiz was injured; He himself tried to control the spurts of blood that were already staining his satchel. He was quickly transferred to the infirmary, and the square was overwhelmed.

Six farms/López, Serrano, Ramírez

Steers from six Madrid farms: 1st of Warrior and Carpenter;2º White Faces of Carpio; 3º Sandoval Brothers; 4º Ayuso Bulls; 5º Angel Luis Pena y 6º The Retamar, poorly presented and ugly made, except fifth and sixth, of better appearance; very tame, except for the fourth, who greedily pushed on the first rod, very bland and classless.

David Lopez: two jabs and rear lunge (silence); rear lunge, low and across and two jerks (silence).

Alvaro Serrano: jab and thrust somewhat fallen (great applause); two punctures _notice_ five punctures _second warning_ and a madness (ovation).

Joel Ramirez: stab with a withering effect (ovation); crossed thrust that stands guard, puncture _warning_ and thrust (silence).

The junior Raúl Ruiz suffered a catch in the banderillas third of the sixth, and the medical report indicates that he suffers from a bull horn wound with an entry hole on the inner side of the right thigh with an outward path of 25 cm that bruises the femoral artery and causes damage to the adductor muscles, vastus medialis and rectus femoris, with an exit hole on the external side of the right middle thigh. Serious prognosis.
