Overview

• Kylian Mbappé scored the opener and assisted Arda Güler as Real Madrid won 2-1 in San Sebastián.
• Mikel Oyarzabal converted a 56th-minute penalty after Dani Carvajal handled in the area, setting up a tense finish.
• Dean Huijsen was sent off in the 32nd minute for denying a goalscoring opportunity to Oyarzabal, a decision by Jesús Gil Manzano that VAR did not overturn.
• Xabi Alonso said the foul warranted only a yellow card, received a booking for his protests, and later said the referee’s explanation did not convince him.
• The victory keeps Madrid perfect atop LaLiga on 12 points from four matches; Real Madrid TV said the club is preparing a refereeing dossier for FIFA and Huijsen will miss the Espanyol match through suspension.
