Almeida Outshines Silva; Las Palmas Endures Struggles
Valencia Triumphs over Las Palmas in a Thrilling La Liga Match
In an electrifying clash that took place on the sunny Spanish islands, Valencia secured a well-deserved victory against Las Palmas this past Saturday, with a final score of 2-3 in the 34th round of La Liga.
Alas, Portuguese stars Fábio Silva and André Almeida were sidelined due to injuries, but the Valencians still managed to pull off a win. The deadlock was broken by the determined Hugo Duro at the 22nd minute, giving Valencia the early advantage.
In the waning seconds of the first half, Sandro Ramírez managed to equalize for the home team, converting a penalty kick at the 45+2'. However, the second half belonged to Hugo Duro once again, who netted his second goal at the 58th minute. With the secure arrival of André Almeida on the field, Valencia wasn't far from reaching the third goal.
And it was just that, as an own goal by Alex Suárez secured the third for the victors at the 75th minute. With the game on a knife-edge, McBurnie found the back of the net at the 83rd minute, but it was too little too late for Las Palmas to get a point.
Post-match, Valencia moved up to the 12th position with 42 points, while Las Palmas slid into the first spot in the relegation zone, holding 32 points. If Girona fails to pick up points in their upcoming matches, Las Palmas could potentially slip even further into the relegation zone.
