UD loses in Granada with a disallowed goal by Recoba in the 94th minute (1-0)

The first adverse result of the Albert Sánchez era occurred this Sunday in Granada (1-0), with a solitary goal by Jorge Pascual after recovering a ball inside the visitors' area and scoring into an empty net. The ill-fated match also saw the expulsion of Nicholas Opoku, just two minutes after making his debut in the Second Division League. And, as a final blow, a beautiful goal by Jere Recoba was disallowed in the 94th minute after the referee called a prior foul on Jefté.

Giovanni Bonfanti and the Gran Canarian Adrián Rodríguez were the two substitutes chosen by coach Albert Sánchez to replace the international players Juanma Herzog and Valentín, who are currently with the under-21 national team. These were the only changes in a starting lineup that remained largely unchanged from the team's recent victories.

The match lived up to the expected intensity, although the score remained unchanged during a first half marked by alternating dominance and decisive performances from both goalkeepers.

Both Caro and his Granada counterpart Alberto handled their respective tasks well. The yellow team's goalkeeper deflected a volley from Jorge Pascual and another advance and shot from Alemañ, which were the best chances for the Andalusian side in the first half. Alberto, on the other hand, managed to block attempts from Jesé, Fuster, and a powerful cross-volley from full-back Andrés Rodríguez.

The second half saw the most significant events of the afternoon. Granada took the lead when Jorge Pascual capitalized on a recovery in the box against goalkeeper José Antonio Caro.

Las Palmas managed to respond and created some opportunities, although the final stretch of the match was affected by a direct red card shown to Opoku in the 82nd minute.

Even so, the islanders persisted until they found the equalizing goal in the 94th minute. It came from a cross by Elías, which Jeremía Recoba controlled in the box and converted with an outside-foot shot from his right foot.

As the UD Las Palmas players celebrated the 1-1 draw, the VAR room prompted the referee to review the play, turning a clash between Jefté and Lama into a foul by the yellow team attacker. The goal was disallowed, sparking controversy.
