Real took the lead in the 42nd minute when Vinícius Júnior’s cross fell behind goalkeeper Herrera. Shortly after the change of sides, Kike García equalized with a header.
The critical moment for Pamplona came a quarter of an hour before the end. Unai García fouled Benzema in the box, he was sent off and the favorite was given the chance to decide from a penalty kick. The top scorer of last year’s La Liga Benzema, however, only hit the ball into the crossbar.
The French striker, who returned to the team after a month-long break due to injury, scored after all, but in the end his shot was taken away by a narrow offside. Pamplona has confirmed a successful start to the season and is in sixth place.
Gabriel Veiga scored the only goal of the Celta Vigo – Betis Sevilla match in the ninth minute. The 20-year-old midfielder hit the bar with a long-range shot. The decisive moment of the match came in the 20th minute, when the visitors’ defender Luiz Felipe received a red card after the intervention of the VAR system. The weakened Betis could not turn the tide of the match and after the loss they are in fourth place. Celta Vigo moved up to tenth position.
