Still in the fight against relegation, Leganes beats Las Palmas in Laliga
A goal from Raba ensures the Pepinera team remains in the game in a duel with Espanyol on the final day.
Leganés ‘ accounts are alive, the fight continues. The pepineros will remain a First Division team for another week. They won at Gran Canaria ‘s funeral and will play for their lives next week against an Espanyol side that lost at El Sadar and has gotten into trouble. Borja Jiménez’s team needs to win at home against Valladolid and for the pericos to lose against Las Palmas . Among the four worst teams of the season, they will play for the last ticket to hell.
The match lived up to the expectations generated after weeks of misery for both sides. In a depressing atmosphere at the Canary Islands Coliseum, both teams played a somber duel in which football emerged in spurts and spurts. There was no tension at all.
Moleiro is one of Las Palmas’ only redeeming qualities this season. In the third minute, he got the better of Dmitrovic with a curling effort, after having two opponents on the bench, as he looked for an angle.
His counterpart at Lega, Raba , who was on Valencia ‘s agenda , responded three minutes later with a header that deepened Las Palmas ‘ wound and put the Madrid team’s record in the green.
Juan Cruz put it in , Raba appeared in the box unopposed by the opponent and headed the ball out of Hokas ‘s sights . Terrible defending and passivity from Álex Muñoz further irritated the inflamed home fans.
The first half ended with whistles and inaccuracies. Lega ‘s need prevailed. Juan Cruz warned, and Javi Hernández had a goal ruled out for offside. Las Palmas ambled along, doing just enough to avoid further infuriating the few fans who turned up to bid farewell to the season’s ordeal.
Cissé missed a clear goal. Juan Cruz left him alone on the run against Horkas , and with everything in his favor, he sent the ball soaring. He tried to delicately hang it, but his shot came out unbelievably high. An error almost on par with Diomande’s at the Pizjuán. In short, a play that perfectly sums up a game without much of a story, but one that keeps Leganés ‘ hopes alive .
