After its defeat in the derby, Real Madrid reacted well this Wednesday by getting the better of Las Palmas.
Defeated by Atlético last weekend, Real Madrid had to react this Tuesday when they hosted Las Palmas. The Merengue did not fail in their task. Incisive, they easily dominated their opponents of the day and this success allows them to stay in the wake of the surprising leader, Girona.
Vinicius Jr played again
Real won, but still had to wait until the end of the first period to take the lead. It was Brahim Diaz who freed the Castilian team, with an uncontrolled recovery after a pass from Lucas Vazquez.
At 1-0, space became available for the Merengue and after returning from the locker room Joselu was able to score the break goal. Criticized in recent times for his lack of efficiency, the Spanish international has proven that he can be a reliable center forward. With a header, after a cross from Rodrygo, he sealed the suspense in this meeting.

In addition to the victory and the point lead recovered over Barcelona, the good news for Real is also the return to competition of Vinicius Jr. After treating his thigh injury and also gastroenteritis, the Auriverde international was fit again and he was able to play the last half hour of the match. On the other hand, Real recorded the defection of its defender David Alaba.
