The team of Rubén de la Barrera won by the minimum against Albacete in the extra time. Las Palmas earned its first three points in LaLiga Hypermotion 2026-2027 after beating Albacete in extra time, in a match that was the debut of Olatz Rivera as the main referee in the Spanish Second Division.
The pace of the game and the chances in both goalkeepers, unusual for a match of the first day of the championship, predominated in a first part that started with a shot to the post of Manu Fuster, ex of Albacete, in the 2nd minute. Marvin Park got injured shortly after in the local team and was replaced by Giovanni Bondanti, although the Italian central defender took the position of left-back and Valentín Pezzolesi took the right flank of the defense, his natural position.
Albacete warned with two close approaches by José Corpas, but Jesé Rodríguez scored in the opposing goal, after a combination by low between Fuster, Miyashiro and final shot by the forward to the net. Jesé Rodríguez had a goal annulled in the 37th minute for offside, when Jefté accompanied him in the play and was enabled for the shot.
After the break, Obeng got injured in the left knee in a fortuitous action, and had to leave limping and with help. Despite the important loss, another one in a team already very battered by injuries, Albacete turned to the draw and Vallejo wasted a clear opportunity by shooting outside a center by Ortuño in the 57th minute, and seven minutes later Caro thwarted shots by Corpas and Ortuño.
Rafa Cruz, debuting in the Union with 16 years, could have scored in a forced header that went high. Albacete found the reward for their insistence in a corner kick that touched Lluis López, and that Víctor San Bartolomé scored high after adjusting the ball with his chest.
In extra time, Sandro Ramírez, shortly after entering the field, scored the winning goal for the local team with a cross shot with the outside, when the Manchego team was with ten players after San Bartolomé was attended to by a lesion.
