UD Las Palmas is starting to turn things around after two winless match days by capitalising on the defensive frailties of fellow yellow-clad rivals Cadiz to claim all three points on the road. They needed just a single goal, ruthlessly converted by Enrique Clemente after he pounced on a loose ball inside the penalty area. Prior to that breakthrough, both sides had goals chalked off in rapid succession: Bonfanti was denied in the 25th minute, before Alvaro Garcia Pascual suffered the same fate in the 28th. A solitary flash of predatory instinct ultimately settled a contest that appeared destined for a 0-0 stalemate, securing a hard-fought 0-1 triumph for the 'Pio-Pio'.

Cadiz: The Andalusian outfit remain in freefall and are now one of only four sides still searching for their maiden victory of the campaign. Sluggish at the back, devoid of invention through the middle, and toothless in attack, the Celades era is already prompting serious apprehension around the Tacita de Plata.

Las Palmas: Ruben de la Barrera's charges preyed upon their hosts' misery to rediscover their rhythm and deliver another damaging blow. Compact, enterprising, and markedly sharper in the final third, they made their breakthrough when Miyashiro pulled the trigger; the goalkeeper could only parry, and Enrique Clemente reacted quickest to bundle the ball home. The victory propels the islanders up to second place, with every intention of staying there.
