Las Palmas own up to mistakes after 3-2 loss at Eibar

UD Las Palmas went behind with two goals early and lost 3-2 at Eibar. After the game, the squad’s message matched: De la Barrera said the match “started the worst possible way”, pointing to problems in pressing and in understanding their ball build-up from the back. Valentín Pezzolesi agreed the team arrived “a bit unfocused”, warning that in Segunda “they can score two quick goals”.

Álex Suárez put it more bluntly: “We started badly… and when we realized we were 2-0 down. In this league, if you start like that, you pay for it”, adding that “the very bad start punished us”. The central insisted on the path forward: “We have to swallow it and keep working”.

According to MARCA, this Ipurua defeat adds another concern: it’s the first time Las Palmas have lost two matches in a row. The way they’re losing—especially defensively—has sparked questions, with part of the issue linked to a lack of options in several positions at the back.
