The bullfighter López Peregrino suffered a 20-centimetre goring to the right thigh during the first bull of the afternoon in Arganda del Rey. He was transferred to a hospital in serious condition.

The bullring in Arganda del Rey experienced an accident-prone afternoon this Monday, September 14. The bullfighter López Peregrino was seriously injured in the first bull of the fight, according to the specialised publication aplausos.es.

The medical report details a 6-centimetre incised contusion wound on the posterior and lateral side of the right thigh, with an ascending trajectory of 20 centimetres that reached the femur and ruptured the biceps femoris muscle. Additionally, there is another descending trajectory of 10 centimetres close to the popliteal fossa. The prognosis is serious and prevents him from continuing the fight.

The bull that caused the goring, from the Concha y Sierra breeding, was serious and wide at the temples and did not move from its exit. After the incident, Jorge Hurtado took charge of killing the animal.

The second bull, with a damaged hand, had good condition in the muleta, especially on the right horn. Hurtado took advantage of it with short muletazos but repeatedly failed with the sword and could not cut the ear that was within reach. Silence after notice.

Jairo López, who replaced Manuel Quintana, performed a linked task on the third, a strong and noble bull, although it lacked tightness. He failed with the swords and needed to use the descabello. Silence after two notices.

The fourth, less dishevelled than its siblings, came out very still from the pens and barely moved in the muleta. López passed it very closely with merit and killed for López Peregrino to try to provoke the charge, but the animal did not move. Silence.

Hurtado received three notices in the fifth, a noble bull with good conformation. He fought it with short muletazos and good embroque, but muddied the task with the swords, especially with the descabello. The animal had to be put down in the ring.

The sixth, a large bull, was unimpressive. López was willing but without brilliance, failed with the sword and his balance was silence after notice.

The artistic balance of the afternoon is summarised in six silences and one conchaysierra in the pen. The event, held in Arganda del Rey, recorded a full house in the stands.
