For being, it is also football the art of the unexpected. This is what happened to the Unión Deportiva Las Palmas in Valladolid last weekend, visiting the Nuevo Zorilla with everything against it. It happened that García Pimienta’s team planted itself there with everything against. Not only he was at his worst of the season in terms of game and results, but also expected a team that was 17 points higher and seemed launched for direct promotion.
However, when the forecasts could make him worse, UD resurfaced like never before. Dominated match and score. It was all good news after Sadiku’s goal, the first to score in the league with Las Palmas. He not only got the team grancanario three vital points to follow, although they continue on a more than steep path, looking for the playoffs, but also broke their worst streak of the season.
Before the aforementioned duel in Valladolid, the new yellow starting point, maybe nowhere or maybe quite the opposite, Las Palmas had barely achieved six of the 21 points in dispute with García Pimienta on the bench. He also arrived in the midst of his worst streak of the season, rising to five the tough sequence of games without winning consecutively, the one in which he played against Burgos (0-2), Zaragoza (2-1), Lugo (2-2), Huesca (0-0) and Girona (1- 3). In the current and disappointing season, UD linked twice twice four days without winning. He has 10 left in search of what seems impossible.
That’s why the song by maestro Sabina already said it, Las Palmas had more than enough reasons to celebrate the 0-1 two days ago. Nor is it much, that for some reason it is said that joy does not last long in the house of the poor. He barely cut the distance with the playoffs by one point, which are now at seven. The border is marked by SD Ponferradina, where Las Palmas plays on April 3. Hope, almost vain, is not lost.
