Real Zaragoza, Pushed by an Unbeatable Fan Base, Walks Towards the First Division

The Real Zaragoza, pushed by an unbeatable fan base, walks towards the First Division. They turned around the initial goal from Union Deportiva Las Palmas and will play on Sunday at Gran Canaria Stadium with a two-goal advantage, a lead that is not definitive, but that anyone would have signed.

Fabulous atmosphere at La Romareda

The fabulous atmosphere at La Romareda announced a dazzling start from Zaragoza, but it was Las Palmas who took control at the beginning. Paco Herrera's team took control of the game from the start and closed in on Bono's goal with three almost consecutive corners. The nervous and imprecise Zaragoza team ran and ran after the ball against a calm and incisive opponent who benefited from an inexplicable pass from Cabrera before the twenty-minute mark. Like Whalley gifted Mata the 0-1 against Girona, Cabrera, precisely on his birthday, caused Jonathan Viera's goal.

Quick Response from Zaragoza

The 0-1 put the tie uphill for Real Zaragoza, but Popovic quickly made amends by bringing Jaime onto the field and organizing his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation. The response was immediate and the match went through a phase of balance and then full Aragonese dominance. Dominance became overwhelming when Rico successfully headed in a cross from Pedro, sending the stands into delirium.

Zaragoza's Tremendous Second Half

The equalizer changed everything, and Zaragoza's start to the second half was tremendous. So much so that within three minutes, in the 48th minute of the match, Pedro finished off a move between Jaime and Willian José with the help of a Canary Islands defender.

Zaragoza Secures the Victory

With the score at 2-1, Las Palmas began to feel the pressure and launched a determined attack on Bono's goal. Paco Herrera, desperate on the bench, went all-in and gave Valerón the last 25 minutes to play, also on his name day (40 years old). However, it was Zaragoza who once again found the back of the net. This time, it was after a tremendous run down the right wing by Javi Álamo, finished off by the Brazilian Willian José.

Moving Towards Promotion

The second leg remains, and this playoff has already demonstrated that there is no definitive result. However, Zaragoza is on track to return to the First Division on Sunday.
