The match started with a bang as Las Palmas took an early lead. The home side's star player, Alberto Moleiro, put his team ahead with a sensational goal just four minutes into the game.

The equalizer brought relief to the Madrid camp and reignited their hopes of turning the game around.
As the match progressed, both teams continued to push for a winner. Las Palmas came close to regaining the lead when Mika Mármol unleashed a powerful volley, only for Courtois to pull off a stunning save. Real Madrid also had their chances, with Vinicius Junior and Mbappé coming close, but they couldn't find the back of the net again.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw, a result that, while disappointing for Real Madrid, highlighted their resilience. Vinicius Junior’s penalty ensured that Madrid walked away with a point, but the team will undoubtedly feel that they could have done more to secure a win.
