Las Palmas have the advantage in their play-off semi-final after they beat Sporting Gijón 1-0 in the first leg. The Canary Islanders went ahead with just over twenty minutes gone, Aranda steering a shot past Cuéllar after Bernardo could only play a wayward clearance by the keeper back in to his path. Nauzet and Apoño could have increased the lead before the interval, but after the restart the Asturians had the better chances, Barbosa having to punch an inswinging Carmona corner way from under the crossbar, and Lekic seeing his shot deflected just wide of the post following a set-piece free kick. Josico’s team kept an important clean sheet though, and it seems that their late change of manager may pay off in the end.
