UD Las Palmas beat Fuenlabrada 2-1 with a great performance from Jesé, author of a double in the first half and decisive in the island’s victory, which ended up being rushed against a rival who, despite playing in numerical inferiority, managed score, promoting a tight finish.
The yellow team dominated the first half and did not face difficulties against a Madrid team whose coach, José Luis Oltra, introduced many rotations in the line-up, starting from the goal, and even with the debut of the youth squad Álex Blanco.
The locals began to accumulate chances in the boots of Jesé and Benito, the latter well covered by Miguel Morro, until an electric combination between Fabio, Clemente and Jesé was solved by the former Real Madrid striker with a great shot to the squad.
Before reaching the break, a quick transition ended in the boots of Jesé, who fell into the area before Pol Valentín in a penalty, much protested by the visitors when they understood that the defender had touched the ball, a maximum penalty that was converted by the own Jesé, deceiving the goalkeeper.
At the beginning of the second half, Oltra did use his most decisive players with a triple change, but already with the hindrance of the adverse score and half the time to straighten the course.

When ‘Fuenla’ seemed to start outlining other intentions, his central Diéguez expelled himself in the 51st minute by applauding the referee just after receiving the first yellow card.
With one less footballer for so long, the visitors aspired to score in some set-piece action. Thus, in a foul taken by Iribas, the ball ended up in the net but the goal was disallowed for offside by Zozulia.
In another strategy action, the Ukrainian was once again the protagonist to get his team into the game by finishing off a header from Iban Salvador from his back after a corner kick.
Morro also put in a lot of his part by saving several occasions for Jesé and Pinchi, leaving the game open.
The referee, at the request of the VAR, annulled a goal to the local Pinchi for offside by Moleiro, which hampered the defender’s trajectory, and maintained the uncertainty until the end, although the visitors’ attempts were unsuccessful.
