Match

Las Palmas run riot against Real Madrid Castilla

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings

Fer Niño scores twice — 8.83

Two goals and a mark of 8.83 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Nicolás Goitea has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Las Palmas they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings

The afternoon ran through Jaime Cabrera

Chances created: 20. Nothing on the scoresheet and everything in the match: the pass before the pass, over and over, until the defence stopped guessing right.

Loan watch

19 clean sheets on loan for Diego Conde

38 appearances at Alavés and the goals have stopped going in. Las Palmas lent out a goalkeeper and are watching somebody else’s season get better every week.

Squad

Fer Niño is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.22 with 18 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

Tempers go at Las Palmas

Cristian Gutiérrez was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Las Palmas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nicholas Opoku was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Thiago Juritsch

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Fer Niño hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Las Palmas can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Taisei Miyashiro wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Las Palmas can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Market

The Deportivo La Coruña deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Guillermo Súnico reports back to Las Palmas with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Nicholas Opoku falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

Las Palmas rebuffed over Agustín Cortez

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Cádiz have kept their man, and Las Palmas go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Fer Niño sends Las Palmas past Huesca

It finished 2‑1, and it was Fer Niño’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Las Palmas.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Fer Niño

Marked 8.08 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Taisei Miyashiro beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Jaime Cabrera signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jaime Cabrera commits to Las Palmas for another 3 years.
