UD still like each other: now they beat Lille (2-2) – Spain’s News

Second friendly match for the yellows in Andalusia against a higher-ranking and more well-rounded rival, which ended in a draw (2-2).
French Lille, led by Portuguese coach Paulo Fonseca, gave the game a lot of pace with the speed of their young strikers. In the first play of the match (min. 2), Yazici scored the first goal for the French, after a defensive mismatch. A cross shot that made the stretch useless
of a match that had nothing to do with the previous one against RCD Espanyol.

Xavier García Pimienta’s team were able to equalize five minutes later, but Elejalde’s late shot ran into the body of the lanky French goalkeeper. Las Palmas did everything possible to match the superiority of the French players, very vertical when they had the ball in their possession. They have spent more time in preseason and that was noticeable on the good playing field of the La Dama de Noche football field, Lille start their league a week before UD.

Arrived at half an hour,
Jonathan Viera appeared and began to distribute the game. Pejiño down the left wing he dribbled with his usual style, but the team continues to demand a good finisher. In these first games other aspects are taken into account, which are more inclined towards physical condition.

Pimienta tested David Vicente as left back and Álex Suárez on the right. In the center of defense the couple formed by Sidnei and Curbelo gave a feeling of great security.

In another genius of Viera, with a good pass to Clemente, Las Palmas was able to equalize. A Gallic defender put his foot on the same goal line so that everyone remained the same.

Viera made mischief before reaching the break with a hat and a roulette, with a final pass to Clemente who shot into the goalkeeper’s hands and whose subsequent rejection was sent by Elejalde over the crossbar.

Las Palmas was the one that played football, Lille ran aimlessly, accusing their great effort in the opening minutes. The break was reached with the minimum income for the French.

At minute 48,
Benito took advantage of a good pass from Moleiro to beat the French goalkeeper from under. A minute later came the most comical and unfortunate action of the match: a complicated back pass by Burlet that goalkeeper Chevalier wanted to control with his chest, but in an imbalance the ball was introduced into his own goal: 1-2 for Las Palmas, hardly sweating. Then the final 2-2 would come.
