Las Palmas turns off Valencia and heads to Europe

The UD Las Palmas beat Valencia 2-0 thanks to two goals in the final stretch, from the defender Álex Suárez in the 89th minutein a shot after a center Mark Cardona from the left, and from the Catalan striker himself, in extension time, which allow the yellows to dream of European positions, with permanence virtually achieved.

The last two goals resolved a very close clashwho did not have many scoring opportunities, although the yellows improved in the second half and little by little they eroded the Valencian team, until they achieved the prize of three points almost in the last breath.

The first half was very balanced, in a game with small spaces, good intentions in both proposals, antagonistic in any case, with many duels and few opportunities, basically with distant shots and without aim.

The Palms he could not profit from his usual tactics to attract first to begin to combine later with precision and speed, while Valencia did not surprise either with its more direct football. Javi Muñoz tried with a low shot that Mamardashvili stopped without problems in the initial stretch of the clash.

Valencia, knowing the forward defense of Las Palmas and that of its goalkeeper, Álvaro Valles, wanted to send a warning to the sailors with a shot by Pepelu from his own field, in the 16th minute, which did not find a goal.

A header from Mosquera that went wide in the 43rd minute after a foul was taken was perhaps the closest option to a goal for a Valencia team that did not struggle in the first half, with good defensive work, but did not threaten the team too much. his rival.

After the break it was more difficult for the ‘Pipo’ Baraja team against a UD Las Palmas that carried the weight of the match morebut without precision to find the definitive pass.

Peter Federico debuted with a Valencia which was going through its worst moment of the match, giving the sensation of having lost the control it had had until then, with dangerous arrivals from Munir and Sandro for the locals.

The subsequent changes gave some air to Baraja’s team, and one of those added, Jesús Vázquez, had two good chances, with a volley shot wide of Foulquier’s center in the 76th minute, and seconds later in an attempted pass to Peter that Mika Mármol deflected and that forced Valles to make a stop reflexes.

Moleiro’s entry gave fresh air to Las Palmas, which resolved the crash in the final stretch: Álex Suárez went all out on a Marc Cardona cross from the left and opened the scoring with a header, with his first goal in the top category of Spanish football.

In the extra time, Marc Cardona was once again the protagonist when he stood between a defender and the goalkeeper so that he could hit the ball and take it to the back of the net, a goal that also allowed Las Palmas to overcome the particular difference with Valencia in this unsuspected fight for the continental zone.
