Las Palmas secures a great victory that allows them to keep dreaming of promotion (1-2)

UD Las Palmas returns from Almería with a victory of extraordinary value, both in terms of standings and morale. The yellows came back in the match against the Indálico team in a magical minute of the second half, with goals from Enrique Clemente and Fran Pejiño.

There are no reactions yet. Be the first!

The current 69 points with two matches remaining allow Luis García Fernández's team to keep looking at the possibility of promotion through the two possible paths.

The starting lineup of UD Las Palmas featured two notable changes in its defensive block, with the return of Marvin Park to the right-back position and Alex Suárez as part of the central duo alongside Mika Mármol. The rest of the team remained unchanged from the match against Andorra in the previous round.

The match began with an exchange of chances, resulting from mutual frenzy. Almería struck first through their top scorer Sergi Arribas, who shot very close to the corner. But Las Palmas responded with a collective play and a half-turn attempt by Miyashiro, which failed to find Andrés Fernández's net.

The Andalusian goalkeeper had work to do in the 10th minute, after a steal, a slalom by Pedrola, and his shot, which Andrés Fernández saved at ground level. On the other side of the field, there was also activity. Alex Muñoz hit the post in the 19th minute, and Embarba shot very close to the corner in the 24th minute.

The intense battle between the two teams continued until the break, although the attacks on goal lacked the same intensity as before. Las Palmas found good opportunities through Pedrola's advances on the left and some counterattacks that failed to deliver the final pass.

The scenario did not change in the second half, with new dangerous initiatives in both directions. The visiting team squandered a clear chance with Pedrola, who broke away with a vertical run, but his shot was blocked by goalkeeper Fernández at the edge of the penalty area. Horkas also had work to do a minute later, stopping another shot from Baptistao, who had managed to connect with the ball in the small area.

The 1-0 came in the 60th minute, in a play protested by the yellows, who claimed that Miguel had elbowed Mika Mármol. The action continued until Embarba sent the ball into the visitors' net.

But the best of the afternoon was yet to come. It happened within 60 seconds, with the equalizer by Enrique Clemente (a bicycle kick) and the immediate 1-2 by Fran Pejiño (after a pass from Kirian). Las Palmas had reacted decisively, managing to steer the match in the desired direction after a colossal effort by their players.

The yellows held onto the lead during the remaining minutes and the 10 minutes of added time. The yellow wave in the stands celebrated with great excitement, as anything is possible in this crazy story of the Second Division.
