It was an autumn storm. UD Las Palmas was a roar yesterday against Cartagena. In the first half, the Murcian team, which started well in the playing field, showed that it had just enough resistance against a UD that made a first impact. The game and goals box was uncovered with Viera’s first goal by transforming a penalty shot with hierarchy and without doubts. From there, the yellows made a meeting of another league, of a higher level. Pejiño was decorated with a goal from outside the area, his fifth goal in the league. Later it was Jesé with a precise vaseline after an assistance from Fabio González who joined the feast.
Cartagena, affected but not crumbled, made three changes at the beginning of the second half that gave it to maintain a dignified bearing at the Gran Canaria Stadium. It was Peñaranda, acting as a second-line player, coming off the bench who closed the scoring account for Pepe Mel’s team. The result was rounded off by Mujica, who missed a penalty in injury time. Las Palmas stepped on promotion ground and the fans slept happily again.
