After their 0-1 victory in Ipurúa against Eibar, UD Las Palmas climbs to first place in LaLiga Smartbank, one of the tightest competitions in Europe in its final stretch
It seemed impossible after a streak of two draws and two defeats in the last month, but UD Las Palmas has recovered from its slump in the last stretch of the season and has become leader of LaLiga Smartbank with three games remaining. after their 0-1 victory in Ipurúa.
Shortly after the start of the second half, in the 51st minute, a free kick on the edge of the area perfectly executed by Sandro Ramírez served to beat Luca Zidane, the Basque team's goalkeeper and son of the Real Madrid legend. There began a fight on the part of the Gran Canarian people to maintain that result; The stops by Álvaro Valles and the concentration of the yellows were key to withstanding the attacks of the gunsmiths, who managed to complete 11 shots in the second half.
UD Las Palmas is thus the leader of LaLiga Smartbank with three games remaining, a league that is tight as possible and where the teams that are playing for promotion (directly and through PlayOffs) have a distance of five points . This places the competition as the most exciting European league in its final stretch, since none of the major European leagues or their respective second divisions have a similar outlook heading into the final weeks of competition.
This has not gone unnoticed by legends of world football such as Iker Casillas, who has pointed out on his Twitter profile "the absolute madness" that will be experienced in the final stretch of the league, a few days not for the faint of heart and where the Gran Canaria team could celebrate a promotion again eight years later.
