Alaves defeats Las Palmas in a thrilling match
Alaves beat Las Palmas 2-0 in a match played at the Estadio de Mendizorroza in Vitoria-Gasteiz. The match was marked by the intensity of both teams and by the controversy over a disallowed goal for Alaves due to offside.
Alaves came out strong and managed to open the scoring in the 7th minute with a goal from C. Vicente, assisted by Stoichkov. Alaves’ joy was overshadowed in the 38th minute when T. Conechny had a goal disallowed for offside. The Alaves player also saw a yellow card in the 45th minute, as did J. Guridi in the 32nd.
In the second half, Las Palmas tried to control the game with more possession, but Alaves managed to extend the lead in the 78th minute with a goal from T. Martínez, who had no assist. The changes in the 64th minute for Alaves (C. Martín and T. Martínez) and in the 58th minute for Las Palmas (A. Moleiro, S. Ramirez and Marvin) marked a change in the pace of the match. Las Palmas tried to react with more changes in the 64th minute (E. Loiodice), the 77th (M. Cardona) and the 82nd (H. Novoa Ramos, L. Romero). However, Alaves held firm and managed to score their second goal in the 90th minute, although L. Romero could not convert the penalty he took.
Alaves, with 29% possession, managed to secure a valuable victory, based on their effectiveness in front of goal (5 out of 14 shots were on target). Las Palmas, with 71% possession, were hampered by their lack of precision in attack (6 out of 12 shots were on target).
