UD Las Palmas suffered a cruel 2-1 home defeat to Burgos. A 93rd-minute winner from David González undid the earlier work of Jesé, who had put the Canary Islanders ahead in the first half.

García Pimienta's side dominated the opening stages with 75% possession in the first ten minutes. The reward came in the 36th minute when Jesé Rodríguez connected with a pass from Manu Fuster to beat goalkeeper Jesús Fernández. The lead held until halftime, but the match turned after the break.

The Burgos comeback

Álex Forés levelled the score for Burgos in the 57th minute, finishing an assist from Jon Karrikaburu. The momentum shifted and Las Palmas, who had shown defensive solidity in previous matches, began to show cracks. Manager García Pimienta turned to his bench, introducing Rafa Cruz, Sandro Ramírez and Jefté Betancor in search of a renewed spark.

The final say, however, went to the visitors. In the 93rd minute, David González met a cross from Javier Llabrés Exposito and his shot found its way past Aarón Escandell. The goal, validated by VAR official Carlos del Cerro Grande, was a brutal blow for the Canarian side, sealing the 1-2 final score. Referee José Luis Guzmán Mansilla showed five yellow cards, three of them to Las Palmas players: Manu Fuster, Enzo Loiodice and José Gragera.

Table ramifications

The loss leaves UD Las Palmas tenth in the Segunda División table with 10 points from six games. Their record stands at three wins, one draw and two defeats, with a neutral goal difference of 8 scored and 8 conceded. They sit six points behind leaders Castellón. Their recent form of two wins, a draw and two losses highlights an inconsistency the team must address.

Striker T. Miyashiro, the team's top scorer this season with two goals in five appearances, could not influence this match. The squad now faces significant defensive absences with Alex Suárez, Nicholas Opoku and Viti Rozada sidelined; the club has not provided a timeline for their returns.

The next challenge is a difficult away trip to face second-placed Eibar on 27 September. A tough test for a team needing to show mental strength after such a late setback. Las Palmas will be looking for points in a tough ground to get their campaign back on track.
