Trending
The Los Amarillos were promoted to the La Liga at the beginning of the 2015/16 season and finished the season strongly in 11th position. Indeed, it is commendable that they went into this match placed seventh in the table after 5 games.
The Palmas’ noteworthy run at home continued as they stayed unbeaten at the Gran Canaria for the third time in as many games, winning the previous two and drawing against the mighty Real.
While it is true that Real failed to capitalize on their chances, Palmas players showed enough verve to stand tall against their Galácticos counterparts and were backed by a vociferous home crowd throughout the game. Their efforts paid off as the yellows came back from behind – not once but twice - to earn a draw, with goals from the impressive Pedro Tanausú ‘Tana’ and substitute Araujo.
After enduring a thrashing away at the hands of Real Sociedad on Wednesday, Palmas and their coach did well to regroup against the Blancos and are now placed fifth with a total of 10 points from 6 games.
The yellows have shown Liga fans that they well and truly belong in the first division of Spanish football and they are here for the long haul.
