UD Las Palmas couldn't defeat CD Leganés in the match played this afternoon at the Municipal de Butarque, which ended in a goalless draw. The coach of UD Las Palmas indicated in the post-match press conference that "when the opponent plays so long with one less player, it seems like you're going to win the game and even less. Today we faced an opponent from a higher category, and the standings don't show the level that Leganés has".

"In order to create more opportunities, we ought to have been more accurate in the last third. Although it's disappointing not to earn three points, we did get one more and will play Ponferradina the following week "Juan Muñoz's dismissal from the game in the first half, the coach continued, "conditioned the course of the game,” "I don't recall having any definite chances on our end. With their strategy having to be altered due to the expulsion. We made every effort to create more chances and play solid defense in the second half, but we were unable to secure a victory."

"They did a great job of defending, but we weren't very crisp. I'm happy for my players because they gave it their all. It's time to fix everything we did wrong and focus on the upcoming match "said he. The yellow tide that gathered in Butarque helped UD, and the coach expressed his appreciation for them at the end of his speech: "For the supporters, I am speechless. I really wanted to give them the win. The players put in a lot of effort, but it was unsuccessful."
