UD Las Palmas has expressed deep disappointment following their defeat in Málaga, a result that has left a bitter taste in the locker room and among fans.

Coach Luis García was among the first to analyze the match, pointing to a lack of “malice” and a decisive “final pass” to create danger. He acknowledged that, although the first half was “quite even,” the team fell apart in the second half, especially after the opponent's first goal.

"Today we lacked being more, having more malice or finding that final pass more to be able to attack and hurt the opponent."

Defender Enrique Clemente agreed with the coach, explaining that the team failed to impose its rhythm and lacked “calmness” to prevent the game from getting out of control, which, according to him, favored the home team. The inability to stop Málaga's momentum was key to the outcome.
The defeat was particularly painful for Jonathan Viera, who described the match as “very decisive” given the situation of both teams in the standings. The squad feels “screwed” for not having achieved victory, a sentiment shared by Manu Fuster, who regretted not being able to offer a win to the numerous traveling fans.

"It's a very tough day."
