“Jesé broke the deadlock almost immediately after kick-off, finishing clinically to give Las Palmas an electric early lead and instantly put Valladolid on the back foot.”
Pivotal“Estanis Pedrola doubled the advantage just after the break, converting to make it 2-0 and effectively snuffing out any Valladolid comeback before it could take shape.”
Pivotal“Stipe Biuk pulled one back for Valladolid with ten minutes remaining, giving the visitors hope and setting up a tense closing period, though ultimately it proved too little too late.”

Outstanding performance
Las Palmas•AttackerLas Palmas controlled this La Liga 2 contest from the very first minute, with Jesé striking inside two minutes to set the tone in front of a buoyant home crowd. The hosts' 56% possession and 91% pass accuracy told the story of a team comfortable in their own skin, dictating tempo and limiting Valladolid to just eight shots all match. Estanis Pedrola's 56th-minute finish extended the lead just as the second half was finding its rhythm, and with 46 dangerous attacks to Valladolid's 25, Las Palmas were rarely troubled. Stipe Biuk's 80th-minute reply gave Valladolid something to show for their 16 tackles and seven corners, but it amounted to little more than a consolation — the result maintaining Las Palmas' fine form and deepening Valladolid's promotion worries in what remains a congested second division table.
