Extremadura 1924 vs Las Palmas Match Recap - Oct 28, 2025

In a thrilling encounter during the first round of the Copa del Rey, Extremadura 1924 dismantled Las Palmas with a commanding 3-1 victory on October 28, 2025. With this win, Extremadura not only advanced in the tournament but also injected life into a season that had seen them struggle in the Segunda División RFEF.

From the outset, Extremadura showcased their intent, with an early goal in the 14th minute igniting the spirits of the home crowd at an undisclosed venue. The atmosphere became electric when Extremadura extended their lead after halftime with a penalty conversion in the 61st minute, capitalizing on a moment of indiscretion from the Las Palmas defense. As if that was not enough, they sealed their emphatic victory with a third goal just before the final whistle in the 90th minute.

Despite a fleeting moment of hope for Las Palmas, when Valentin Pezzolesi scored in the 77th minute, the comeback never materialized. Las Palmas had entered the match buoyed by a streak of recent successes, but this defeat stung, pushing them back to a reality where they must regroup after failing to carry their positive momentum into the tournament.

I had anticipated a high-scoring affair based on both teams' recent results, but I suppose I underestimated Extremadura 1924's desire to write a different script today. While Extremadura had struggled to find their form, their victory today could mark a turning point. The win stands in stark contrast to their previous matches, where they had only found the net eight times across the last five fixtures. Today, they rediscovered their scoring touch when it mattered most.

For Las Palmas, who had enjoyed a few recent victories, this loss raises concerns about their ability to handle knockout pressures. Their recent league position has been precarious, and falling in this early round of the Copa del Rey may shake their confidence. Though they have the talent to recover, today's outing suggests deeper issues that will need addressing moving forward.

With this result, Extremadura 1924 advance in the tournament, potentially opening doors for a run that could redefine their season. Meanwhile, Las Palmas will have to confront the growing pressure of their league campaign, hoping to rebound quickly as they prepare for their next match in the Segunda División. The stakes will be high as each team reflects on today's pivotal moments, and both must navigate the challenges ahead with renewed focus and determination.
