breaking latest news of UD Las Palmas – Real Madrid, 1-2

Real Madrid won this Saturday 1-2 on their visit to UD Las Palmas, with goals from Vinícius Jr. and Aurélien Tchouameni in the final stretch to overcome Javi Muñoz’s initial goal, in a match corresponding to matchday 22 and that helped the meringues to regain the tight leadership of LaLiga EA Sports. At the Gran Canaria Stadium, the visiting team was immersed in a yellow tide from the start. Provided with 32,500 t-shirts, at the initiative of the Federation of Supporters Clubs and the club’s own Foundation, the UD Las Palmas fiefdom was decked out in that color to encourage their team. And it seemed to have an effect in the first few minutes of one on one with his rival, an opportunity included in the 10th minute after a sprint down the right wing by Marvin Park, who crossed low; Nacho Fernández failed to clear and the ball arrived in the area at the feet of Alberto Moleiro, who angled and shot, but Antonio Rüdiger crossed well to deflect with a header. Rüdiger himself, before reaching the quarter-hour mark, sent a header wide from a lateral free kick taken by Toni Kroos, who shortly after gave work to the local goalkeeper with a direct free kick from the front. Without much to boast about in the attacks of both teams, Las Palmas asked for a penalty in the 30th minute after a touch from Dani Ceballos to Sergi Cardona. The main referee, César Soto Grado, considered that it had been a mere dispute for the ball and was not even urged from the VOR room to watch the play repeated on television. Fluency was lacking at Real Madrid, missing Jude Bellingham and without his replacement, Brahim Díaz, knowing how to govern a more populated area than the one he inhabits. On the part of Las Palmas, in the 33rd minute they created a chance with a left-footed shot that Cardona sent into the clouds. Andriy Lunin, who for the moment has won the title over Kepa Arrizabalaga, barely had any hustle before reaching a break that both the yellows and whites needed to wake up. Said and done, Francisco Javier García Pimienta’s men came out with impetus. In his first attack, Sandro Ramírez prevented a long pass from going out through the baseline and gave the ball back to Munir El Haddadi, who quickly positioned himself to execute a low left foot shot that Lunin stopped providentially when the stands were already celebrating a goal. . LOCAL JOY DIFFUSES But it didn’t take long for the stadium to vibrate again, now with the score at 1-0 in the 53rd minute, following a textbook counterattack. Sandro went ahead of Nacho to touch the ball with his toe and assist Kirian Rodríguez, who returned to his teammate with a running pass; Sandro then tamed the ball, got away from Rüdiger and crossed hard at grass level. Javi Muñoz, like an exhalation, had slipped through the Real Madrid defense and finished from point-blank range to beat Lunin, including a brush with the shot on Nacho’s foot. The merengue team reacted immediately, with a goal from Dani Carvajal after a chipped pass from Vinícius Jr. after a set piece, although invalid due to offside from the right back. Vini Jr. had already started to get going, as he demonstrated in the 64th minute with a fruitless shot in front of goalkeeper Álvaro Valles, just as had happened to him in the first half of the match in an invalidated play. The Brazilian was, despite everything, calibrating his sights. Just two minutes later, Eduardo Camavinga again saw Vini Jr. unmarking himself behind the centre-backs and assisted him from above, which the Madrid ‘7’ did take advantage of on this occasion; He controlled the ball and ‘ipso facto’ hit a volley with his left foot, which crossed Valles who did little against Vini’s tight aim. García Pimienta’s team gradually faded away, for whom the changes did not work. In fact, Juanma Herzog, one of the players who had taken the field during the second half, was surpassed by Tchouameni in the jump from a corner placed in contention by Kroos. The French midfielder from Real Madrid celebrated his 24th birthday with a great overhead header from the near post, more powerful than Herzog and lodging the ball in the back of the net on the opposite side. Carlo Ancelotti’s men managed the final stretch of the game well and a discount that was insubstantial, with the gunpowder wet among the locals. This victory, based on two flashes of quality, placed Real Madrid with 54 points at the top of the league, ahead of Girona that has 52 points. Meanwhile, the Gran Canaria team was left with 31 points in the middle of the table and saw its streak of two consecutive wins cut short.
