The Canary Islands side extended their positive run with a resilient 1-1 draw that kept their momentum alive in the league. The standout performer was the goalkeeper, whose timely saves repeatedly thwarted Osasuna’s danger and helped secure a share of the spoils for his team.
Las Palmas travelled to Pamplona to take on Osasuna, aiming to translate away form into a third consecutive good result on the road. The visitors started with purpose, while Osasuna pressed high through the middle third, creating a tense, physical start to the match.
The opener came in the 14th minute when a loose ball bounced unfavourably for Las Palmas. Budimir unleashed a shot that was smartly blocked by the goalkeeper, with the ball skimming past the post and into a crowded area, briefly stirring the home supporters. Moments later, Mojica delivered a dangerous cross that found a Croatian forward in the box, but the header sailed narrowly wide as the ball flashed across the goalmouth.
Las Palmas tried to settle into their rhythm after the early scare, yet Osasuna’s pressure began to tell. A central defender registered the team’s first real attempt on goal shortly before the half-hour mark, illustrating the Navarrese side’s growing grip on proceedings.
The keeper again produced a spectacular close-range save to deny Budimir, who only needed to adjust his body to convert. The tempo quickened in the late stages of the first half as Osasuna looked to puncture the resistance, while Las Palmas steadied themselves and readied for a response. A brief interval gave way to further attacking half-moves as both sides pressed to move ahead before the break.
A social media clip captured the electric atmosphere as the home crowd roared their approval for their players, underscoring a fiercely contested Spanish league clash. The match resumed with Osasuna pressing for a breakthrough while Las Palmas remained compact and vigilant, ready to strike on the counter.
As the second half began, Arrasate urged his players to push for a decisive goal from the outset. The plan paid off almost immediately as a second headed attempt threatened the goal, but the goalkeeper stretched to make another superb save, preventing David Garcia from finding the net and keeping the score level. The ball again stubbornly refused to cross the line, preserving the stalemate.
With time ticking, the game opened up briefly before Las Palmas found their footing again. A moment of inspiration arrived from Alberto Moleiro, the young Canarian talent, who had just entered the field. In his limited time on the pitch, Moleiro burst through the middle, created space, and fired a shot toward the far post. The ball slipped past the goalkeeper and nestled into the net, handing Las Palmas a 0-1 advantage and injecting life into their performance.
Three minutes later, Osasuna swung the momentum back in their favor as they regrouped and pressed relentlessly for an equaliser. Moncayola delivered a precise cross from the right, Budimir challenged the defence inside the box, and Coco, in an attempt to clear, unintentionally sent the ball into his own net. The own goal swung the balance back to level terms and intensified the late drama.
From then on, the home side pushed for a second goal, maintaining high pressure and pinning Las Palmas deep in their half for extended spells. Yet the visitors stood firm, showing discipline, well-timed interceptions, and compact defending that frustrated the Osasuna attack. The contest settled into a measured rhythm, with chances at both ends but no further decisive moments materialising into a winner.
In the closing stages, Las Palmas held firm and celebrated earning a draw on the road, extending their unbeaten run to three matches. The outcome preserved their fine away form and left them buoyant ahead of the next fixture, where they would again seek to sustain the positive sequence. The Canary Islands club continues to build momentum as the season unfolds, aiming to climb the table and maintain the momentum gained in this encounter. (via Movistar Fútbol)
