Las Palmas vs Mirandes Match Recap - Dec 8, 2025

Las Palmas Stumbles in Goalless Draw Against Mirandes: A Missed Opportunity

Las Palmas squandered a chance to solidify their playoff position, settling for a frustrating 0-0 draw against Mirandes. Despite dominating possession with 72%, Las Palmas failed to convert their control into goals, reflecting a troubling trend in their recent performances. This match marked another instance where their inability to finish left them with just one point instead of three.

Las Palmas has struggled to find the back of the net consistently, a theme that continued in this fixture. They managed only two shots on goal compared to Mirandes' one, highlighting a lack of cutting edge that has plagued them throughout the season. The home side's recent form has been inconsistent, with only two wins in their last five matches. Their previous match against Castellón saw them fail to register a single shot on target, and this game echoed that disappointment.

Mirandes, sitting precariously above the relegation zone, came into this match with a glimmer of hope after a narrow victory against Real Sociedad II. However, they were unable to build on that momentum. With just 15 points from 16 matches, their struggles were evident as they managed only three total shots in this encounter. Their defensive frailties were somewhat masked by Las Palmas' inability to capitalize on opportunities.

The red card shown to Horkas in the 38th minute could have shifted the dynamics of the match. Instead of taking advantage of the numerical superiority, Mirandes failed to create significant chances. Their passing accuracy of 68% was indicative of their struggles to maintain possession under pressure, further compounding their woes.

Las Palmas' midfield, led by Fuster and Loiodice, dominated the ball but lacked the incisiveness needed to break down Mirandes' defense. Their 89% pass accuracy showcased their ability to control the game but also highlighted their failure to penetrate effectively. The absence of a clinical finisher was glaring; Luković, who had been a key player in previous matches, was unable to make an impact.

Mirandes' goalkeeper, Nikić, was forced into action but only had to make two saves, reflecting Las Palmas' inability to test him adequately. The visitors managed to hold firm defensively, but their lack of ambition in attack left them with little to celebrate. They were outshot and outplayed for large stretches but managed to escape with a point.

Recent performances from both teams reveal contrasting narratives. Las Palmas has shown flashes of brilliance but has often faltered when it matters most. Their last five matches included a mix of wins and draws, yet they have struggled against teams lower in the standings. This draw against Mirandes is a stark reminder that possession without purpose yields little reward.

Mirandes, on the other hand, continues to fight against relegation. Their recent win against Real Sociedad II provided a brief respite, but this draw does little to alleviate the pressure mounting on them. They remain in 21st place, and while they showed resilience in defense, their lack of offensive threat is concerning.

Looking ahead, Las Palmas will face AD Ceuta FC next, where they must find a way to convert possession into goals if they hope to remain in contention for promotion. Mirandes will travel to Castellón, where they need to build on this draw and find ways to score if they want to escape the relegation battle.

This match encapsulated the ongoing struggles for both teams: Las Palmas' quest for consistency and Mirandes' fight for survival. The narrative continues as both sides look for redemption in their upcoming fixtures.
