Real Madrid held by Las Palmas

Real Madrid had a second-half Vinicius Junior penalty to thank as the Spanish champions avoided a first league loss of the season in a 1-1 draw at Las Palmas on Thursday.

The Brazilian converted from the spot in the 69th minute after Alex Suarez was found guilty of handball.

Madrid had gone 1-0 down after a fifth-minute Alberto Moleiro goal.

It was a second draw in three La Liga outings for Real and leaves the capital club fourth in the standings, four points off archrivals Barcelona.

In the day‍‍`s other match, Girona put Osasuna to the sword in a crushing 4-0 victory.

Osasuna could only muster a single shot -- not on target -- in a game in which they won no corners and had just two touches in Girona‍‍`s penalty box.

Bryan Gil opened the scoring in the 34th minute, before Viktor Tsygankov and Abel Ruiz hit goals in a quick-fire three-minute period around 53 minutes to put the game out of reach.

Uruguay‍‍`s Cristhian Stuani wrapped up the dominant win with a fourth goal at the death.
