Adnan Januzaj rescued a point for Las Palmas that could be worth gold. The Belgian, when everything seemed against him, pulled off a foul shot and scored a goal in the midst of the chaos. Gil Manzano and Pizarro Gómez had assumed, very reluctantly, to become the main protagonists of the clash. Bad thing when the referee appears more on television screens than the footballers.
From going to the fountain so much, it was normal for it to break. Osasuna looked for the goal at the Gran Canaria Stadium in every possible way. Rubén García from a free kick, Budimir playing as a striker, Kike Barja with a shot against the post… The first half had made it quite clear that Vicente Moreno’s men wanted to leave the island with a victory. It was time to wait, between Cillessen and the post they left the team with honey on their lips.
The second act began as the first ended, with Osasuna looking for the goal with a great Jesús Areso as an offensive argument. The red right back appeared again and again like a hammer on his side. On one of those arrivals the ball fell to one of the classiest guys of the twenty-two on the pitch and he did not forgive. Aimar Oroz found the reward for so much insistence. Osasuna was ahead before the chaos.
After receiving the blow, Las Palmas played in a rush and completely changed the setting of the game or at least the time that Gil Manzano allowed him without dressing as the protagonist. Sandro had had a very clear chance, minutes before the Extremadura native gathered all the spotlights in the stadium. After an action in the area between areso y Miller that the referee did not point out, the VAR called good old Gil Manzano to review the possible penalty. The grab came to nothing, after retreating at the beginning of the play. It went from a possible penalty in favor of Las Palmas to a yellow for an elbow from Fabio Silva to Iker Muñoz.
-In the midst of local confusion came the expulsion of I exude for protesting a foul. The young midfielder had to be removed from the field by his own teammates. Gil Manzano, who had already set the bar for the cards very low in the first 45 minutes with up to five warnings, had become the main protagonist. The clash ended with 15 cards.
Las Palmas, despite everything, insisted until the end in their attempt to come back. The yellow ones, with Januzaj dressed as a hero at the discountthey found their prize in the midst of chaos. A point that is worth gold for the islanders.
