Las Palmas leaves Carlos Tartiere alive

Las Palmas scratched an important point in their visit to Tartiere in a clash in which Oviedo was always more comfortable on the pitch. The blues deserved more against the leader, but the crossbar spat out Bastón’s attempt in the clearest occasion for those from Cervera, who seemed to direct the clash at all times to what interested his team.

Oviedo, far from its most conservative version of previous appointments, this time came out to bite in the rival’s field. Las Palmas seemed surprised with the proposal of those from Cervera, who began to generate chances in each robbery generated near the Canary Islands area. Despite a dangerous cross from Óscar and a left foot shot away from Pejiño served as a presentation for García Pimienta’s men, the chances began to accumulate on the blue side.

Rama tried left-footed after a steal on the right, but his shot came off weakly, with no punch. Costas headed in a corner to certify that Oviedo, now yes, is beginning to be a fearsome team in the blackboard plays. Before the break, another good, electric combination between Costas, Bretones and Flores followed with a cross from the Mexican that just missed Bastón in the area.

It’s not that the first half had left great chances, or the goalkeepers showing off, but there was still the feeling that they were playing with Oviedo’s rules. Whoever expected a reserve blue team, waiting in their field, will have been surprised by the brave bet of biting Las Palmas at the start of the play. The canaries, uncomfortable, did not quite see the humor in the matter. The doubt resided in the intermission to see if the Carbayona energy had continuity for the 90 minutes of the appointment or if the canaries would begin to find ways to invade the enemy camp.

García Pimienta did not see it clearly, who introduced Sidnei and Marvin at halftime. He seemed to immediately improve Las Palmas, who tried it through Óscar, more released from then on, and Marvin. But Oviedo continued insistent with its flight plan. At 54 minutes, the goal was close. Enrich focused on a lightning attack and Bastón, with an aesthetic volley, smashed the ball into Domínguez’s crossbar.

The red to Loiodice

As the minutes passed, Las Palmas took possession of the ball for longer, although Oviedo did not seem uncomfortable, as they continued to scare each steal. The clash leaned towards Domínguez’s goal when Loiodice saw the red, in a mistimed entry, ten from the end. Oviedo pressed and Domínguez had to clear an attempt by Jimmy. The last one, however, was yellow: Andone’s right hand near the post.
