Kylian Mbappé remains scoreless in the Spanish league for Real Madrid as the defending champions settled for a 1-1 draw at Las Palmas.

Mbappé, Madrid’s biggest signing in years, has only scored for the powerhouse in the team’s UEFA Super Cup victory against Atalanta earlier this month.

It was Vinicius Junior who scored for Madrid, who beat Valladolid 3-0 in the previous round but opened their title defence with a 1-1 draw at Mallorca.

Vinicius found the net on Thursday for his first league goal this season by converting a 69th-minute penalty kick after a handball inside the area.

The hosts had taken the lead five minutes into the match after Alberto Moleiro got past a couple of defenders before finding the net from inside the area.

Barcelona on Tuesday became the only team with three wins from the first three rounds after a 2-1 victory at Rayo Vallecano.

Girona, the surprise team last season after a third-place finish, earned their first win with a 4-0 rout of Osasuna at home.

Bryan Gil scored in the first half, then Viktor Tsygankov, Abel Ruiz and Cristhian Stuani sealed the victory in the second.

Girona had opened with a draw and a loss. Osasuna had a draw and a win from their opening matches.
