Pombo blows up the nap in Las Palmas

As so many times, and that is leading, UD Las Palmas ended up paying dearly for their lack of offensive efficiency. Today, moreover, He did not know how to sentence Racing de Santander, who found himself with a penalty as clear as it was avoidable to achieve a draw that he did not expect and get more air in his career to get out of the relegation places. While, the entity from Gran Canaria continues as leader, but depends on Eibar to sleep tonight flaunting such condition.

The match was quite a declaration of intent right from the start of it. If Las Palmas forced their first corner in their favor after 30 seconds of play, Racing was already pressing immediately afterward, and with great intensity, to get the ball out of the leader. The locals, waiting for Jonathan Viera, recovered from his discomfort but still on the bench, gave him the helm to Moleiro, that left Marc Cardona alone before he fell offside. While, Mboula agitated the Cantabrian attack, a first-party ordeal that made Sergi Cardona go through.

The change of coach was very noticeable in a Racing that demonstrated the reason for their victory in Cartagena, 0-3, before the break. Bold both in pressing and in attack, where he still lacks more effectiveness, Sekou was about to give him the initiative on the scoreboard, but Coco appeared there to take a header away from Saúl’s cross, which smelled like a goal.

The excitement of the first minutes gave way to others of peace until Pejiño and, of course, Moleiro, detonated the game. The Las Palmas 10, whose performance suggests that he will last a little in Gran Canaria, launched the perfect pass to the end of Barbate, who with all the class he treasures mocked the presence of Saúl to shoot Parera and make it 1-0. The goal fell like holy water on UD, as it came when things were going the worst.

Something more was expected in the opposite field of Racing. So it had to be Mboula who almost hit a direct shot to the chin of Las Palmas, but after leaving Cardona and Enrique Clemente behind, he ran into the accurate hand of Álex Domínguez, his intervention decisive to avoid the draw.

saw.

The entry of Jonathan Viera fed the hopes of the local fans, even though his team, once again, was unable to close the match, something that ended up paying quite expensive. While, Pombo and Aiás, who hit the crossbar with a ball, were close to equalizing. It really had to be Pombo who achieved the tie from the penalty spot after a clear penalty from Sergi Cardona, that instead of clearing the ball he did it with Fernández. The launch had to be checked against the VAR.

Las Palmas, with a large arsenal on the field (Viera, Sandro, Marc Cardona and then Andone, Álvaro Jiménez…) launched into a whirlwind for the second goal, but it was too late when he woke up from his nap. He tried harder in discount than in the previous 90 minutes and was left with the desire. If Eibar beat Ibiza tonight, goodbye to the lead.
