The first half of the match was characterized by more fouls than chances, with Rodrygo receiving an early booking for a clash with goalkeeper Alvaro Velles. Vinicius Jr had the best opportunities for Los Blancos, forcing Velles into a good save with a lob attempt and coming close with a low drive from distance. Las Palmas also created some decent chances, with Sergi Cardona missing the target with a first-time strike in the box.

The second half started with Las Palmas on the attack, and they came close to scoring when Alberto Moleiro’s shot was well saved by Andriy Lunin. However, a few minutes later, Sandro Ramirez set up Javier Munoz to score from close range on a counter-attack.
