Point sharing in Zubieta, with a goal by Kirian in the second half (1-1)
UD Las Palmas returns from San Sebastián with a draw (1-1) on a night of hard work against the young reserve team of Real Sociedad. Both goals were scored at the start of the second half, with Kirian Rodríguez netting the equalizer for the team from Gran Canaria.
The start of the match was not comfortable for UD Las Palmas, as they struggled to overcome the first lines of pressure from the young Donostiarra team. Although possession was more in favor of the yellows, progressing into the opponent's field was complex.
The first chance of the afternoon came from Mikel Rodríguez, with a header in the 15th minute that Dinko Horkas saved with quick reflexes. The response came from Manu Fuster several minutes later, with a shot from outside the box that goalkeeper Egoitz Arana managed to catch.
Las Palmas constantly sought the flanks to disrupt their opponent, managing at times to reach the txuri urdín area with several players. However, the plays did not end successfully, as the local team quickly regrouped.
The risk of the counterattack warned by García Fernández became evident in the 30th minute. After a corner from the yellows, Aguirre launched an individual attack from one side of the field to the other, finishing with a low shot that Horkas saved once again. The last dangerous situation came from Balda, with a cross shot that missed the goal.
The match gained a frantic pace after the restart. In 3 minutes, two goals were scored. The first was for the reserve team after a passing error in the defensive zone. Gorka Carrera took advantage of it to score the 1-0, bypassing Horkas' attempt to stop him. But Kirian Rodríguez restored the tie in the 50th minute, successfully finishing a play created by Jesé with a steal and an assist. The shot from the Tenerife native at mid-height was unreachable for Arana.
After the tie was restored, Las Palmas enjoyed their best minutes of the match, especially in the final stretch. The yellows finished the match with 65.8% possession, managed to get into the opponent's field, but could not find the winning shot to completely turn the score around.
Juanma Herzog almost did it with a shot that hit the crossbar, but the play was ruled out due to an offside call on his teammate Clemente.
