He scored it in the 86th minute from a corner, when the Canarian team had done the most difficult thing, to draw when he was playing with ten players due to the expulsion of midfielder Enzo Loiodice.
The game was very even at the beginning with the two teams observing the rival’s way of operating in front of the opposing goal, although with more dominance from the Malaguista team.
The confrontation was bland, with hardly any dangerous actions on both sides, with excessive respect and fear of missing a goal.
Málaga had problems for the construction, with the driver Ramón Enríquez, substitute for the sanctioned Genaro Rodríguez, covered and well defended, and a well-armed Canarian team in the center of the field with Kirian and Óscar, who had the first chance to score with a shot to a post in the 21st minute.
The locals had many problems to reach the opposite area and Las Palmas with just three touches created uncertainty and problems in the Malaguista defense, as happened with a shot by Jonathan Viera, only in front of goalkeeper Dani Martín, who aborted the goal with a splendid intervention .
The next play was made between Víctor Gómez and Brandon, who put a low pass in the area that Antoñín finished off ahead of the Canarian defense in minute 30 to sign the 1-0, but Las Palmas was not daunted and continued attacking. Jesé, somewhat off, with a cross shot was able to equalize the game.
Nothing changed after the break with Las Palmas dominating and with occasions and an excessively contemplative Malaga and hardly disturbing the goalkeeper Raúl Fernández.
In the 52nd minute, midfielder Enzo Loiodice was sent off, for a double yellow, and the Canarian team’s system suffered some variation, but he continued to command against an opponent who did not take advantage of the numerical inferiority.
Málaga made changes to try to improve a deplorable second half against an opponent with a minus, with the entry of Jozabed, Ismael Gutiérrez and Kevin, by Antoñín, Ramón Enríquez, who retired injured, and Roberto.
Las Palmas was deserving of the tie and came in a blunder from French central Mathieu Peybernes, who wanted to give the ball with his chest to goalkeeper Dani Martín without seeing Benito, who was ahead and scored the 1-1 in the 77th minute.
Malaga advanced lines, went for a game that had been put uphill and scored 2-1 in a corner in the 56th minute. Sekou Gassama finished with his head and beat Raúl Fernández. It was the first goal for the forward, one of the Malaguista signings this season.
