Real Madrid salvage 1-1 draw at lowly Las Palmas

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr fired in a second-half penalty to cancel out Alberto Moleiro's early opener as the Spanish giants salvaged a nervy 1-1 draw at lowly Las Palmas on Thursday.

Las Palmas' Moleiro netted a bullet strike from a quick counter in the fifth minute. The hosts wasted several chances to extend lead against a chaotic and disorganised Real defence.

However, the LaLiga champions managed to rescue a point thanks to Vinicius's strike from the penalty spot after a handball by defender Alex Suarez.

Real are fourth in the LaLiga standings with five points from three games, four behind leaders Barcelona.
