Albacete Stun Las Palmas with Dramatic Double in Stoppage Time
Albacete produced a remarkable late turnaround to snatch a 2-1 victory over Las Palmas at Estadio Carlos Belmonte, scoring twice in stoppage time after trailing for almost the entire match. Las Palmas looked set for all three points after an early goal in the 6th minute, controlling possession for long stretches and keeping Albacete at bay. However, the hosts refused to give in, piling on pressure late and capitalizing with two goals in the dying moments to send the home crowd into raptures. Despite Las Palmas' dominance in possession (58%) and a measured approach in midfield, Albacete's persistence and directness paid off. The home side fired 19 shots to Las Palmas' 8, and although both teams managed 4 shots on target, it was Albacete's late clinical edge that proved decisive. The match was a tale of two halves: Las Palmas' early control and Albacete's relentless late surge.
Albacete
Albacete showed immense character and resilience, coming from behind to secure a dramatic win. Their 5-4-1 formation provided defensive solidity but limited their attacking options for much of the match. However, as the game wore on, they committed more men forward, increasing their attacking threat and eventually overwhelming Las Palmas in stoppage time. Their 19 shots demonstrated their attacking intent, and their physical approach (17 fouls, 3 yellow cards) reflected their determination.

Their attack faded in the second half, and their defensive line was ultimately breached twice in stoppage time, undoing their earlier good work.

Tactical Analysis
Albacete deployed a 5-4-1 formation, prioritizing defensive solidity and looking to hit Las Palmas on the break. Their wing-backs provided width, but the system initially limited their numbers in attack. As the match progressed and urgency increased, Albacete pushed more players forward, especially in the final 15 minutes, switching to a more aggressive stance that paid off spectacularly in stoppage time. Las Palmas' 4-4-2 allowed them to dominate possession and control the midfield, with Enzo Loiodice and Kirian Rodríguez dictating play. However, their lack of width and reluctance to commit numbers forward after their early goal left them vulnerable to Albacete's late surge. Set pieces and direct play became Albacete's main weapons as they chased the game, ultimately overwhelming Las Palmas' tiring defense.
Turning Point
The first stoppage-time goal for Albacete at 90', which shattered Las Palmas' composure and set the stage for the late winner.
