Real Madrid secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Las Palmas at Santiago Bernabéu, but the match began in dramatic fashion. Within 27 seconds of kick-off, Las Palmas forward Fábio Silva stunned the hosts with a brilliantly orchestrated goal involving 31 touches and 11 passes. This marked the fastest opponent goal at the Bernabéu in a La Liga match.
Silva’s early strike jolted Carlo Ancelotti’s side awake. Real Madrid responded swiftly, with Kylian Mbappé equalizing from the penalty spot in the 18th minute after Rodrygo was fouled. By the 36th minute, Mbappé doubled his tally, capping off a brilliant team move to put Real ahead. Brahim Díaz added another goal in the 33rd minute, converting a rebound from Lucas Vázquez’s assist.
Although three Real Madrid goals were disallowed by VAR—including one that denied Mbappé a hat-trick—the team maintained dominance. Rodrygo sealed the victory with a 57th-minute strike.
Las Palmas finished with 10 men after Benito Ramírez was sent off in the 64th minute for a dangerous foul. Despite the setbacks, Real’s relentless performance propelled them to the top of the La Liga table with 46 points, edging out Atlético Madrid.
