Kylian Mbappé’s search for his first Spanish league goal continues as Real Madrid was held to a 1-1 draw at Las Palmas on Thursday.
The French superstar, Madrid’s marquee signing, has yet to find the net in La Liga this season. His lone goal for the club came in the UEFA Super Cup victory against Atalanta earlier this month.
Vinicius Junior salvaged a point for the defending champions, converting a 69th-minute penalty after a handball in the area. It was the Brazilian’s first league goal of the campaign.
Las Palmas had taken a surprise lead just five minutes into the match. Alberto Moleiro weaved past several defenders before scoring from inside the box.
The result leaves Madrid with five points from three matches, having drawn their opener 1-1 at Mallorca before a 3-0 win over Valladolid.
Barcelona currently leads the league as the only team with three wins from three games, following their 2-1 victory at Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday.
In other La Liga action, Girona secured their first win of the season with a commanding 4-0 home victory against Osasuna. Bryan Gil opened the scoring in the first half, with Viktor Tsygankov, Abel Ruiz, and Cristhian Stuani adding goals after the break.
The win marks a turnaround for Girona, last season’s surprise third-place finishers, after opening their campaign with a draw and a loss. Osasuna, meanwhile, had previously recorded a draw and a win.
