The squad of UD Las Palmas begins its journey today via charter flight to Malaga, with an overnight stay in Torremolinos, to face the decisive second leg of the playoff semi-finals. The team requires a victory by more than one goal against Málaga CF at La Rosaleda to advance to the grand final, following the unfavorable 0-1 result from the first leg in Siete Palmas.
The yellow team, managed by Luis García Fernández, will train this afternoon before flying to Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport. The return trip is scheduled for early Wednesday morning, after the match concludes at 8:00 PM. The coach from Oviedo will be without key players such as Barcia, Viti Rozada, Ale García, Sandro Ramírez, and Recobita.
Recent history offers precedents of successful comebacks at the Malaga stadium. In 2017, under Manolo Márquez, the team achieved a 1-3 victory, and in 2022, with Pimienta at the helm, the score was a resounding 0-4. The fans hope for similar feats to secure promotion to the top flight.
The match represents the season's climax for UD Las Palmas, as they compete for promotion against Málaga CF, who will have the support of their 31,000 fans. A minimal victory would force extra time, but the objective is to secure a lead of more than one goal to avoid penalties.
