Diego Strike Hands Real Unión Narrow Defeat to Las Palmas C
Real Unión suffered a narrow defeat to Las Palmas C after a second-half strike from Diego secured a vital win for the visitors.
Real Unión’s hopes of picking up points were dashed this weekend following a narrow defeat to Las Palmas C. The loss is a blow to the home side’s momentum during a crucial stage of the season, serving as a reminder of how difficult it is to turn possession into goals when teams are so evenly matched.
The game was decided in the second half when Diego broke the deadlock. He beat his marker and fired a precise shot into the top corner. Despite a late surge of pressure from the hosts, the goal proved to be the winner. Real Unión’s best chance to equalize fell to Azael, who missed the target during a one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
The match was a back-and-forth affair. In the first half, both sides struggled to find the net; Callejo led the attack for the hosts, while a quick counter-attack from the Canary Islanders nearly forced an own goal from Antón. After the break, Real Unión pushed harder, forcing Las Palmas goalkeeper Mohedano to make several key saves against Callejo and Javi Yanes. The visitors remained disciplined at the back and nearly scored earlier when a header from Ryan drifted just inches wide.
Ultimately, the result highlights the competitive nature of the division, where clinical finishing matters more than controlling the ball. For Real Unión, the defeat is a setback, while Las Palmas C’s direct style of play earned them three vital points.
