Las Palmas defeated Cádiz 3-1 in a Club Friendly on Friday, 8 August 2026. The visitors took control early and never looked back, with goals from T. Miyashiro, M. Fuster and J. Betancor securing the win. Jzeta gave the hosts a brief lead before the match turned.
And here's the thing about that opening goal — Jzeta struck in the third minute, catching Cádiz players still settling into their rhythm. The home side camped in the final third for a while after, but Las Palmas kept their heads and went for the jugular when they got the chance.
Miyashiro levelled in the 26th minute, and by then the momentum had shifted. Fuster put Las Palmas ahead just five minutes later, and Betancor made it 3-1 in the 60th minute. Three goals in quick succession turned a tight opening into a comfortable evening for the visitors.
La Rosa collected a yellow card in the 65th minute, and an unnamed Cádiz player followed seven minutes later. Cádiz made several changes — Arribas and Cruz came on together in the 71st minute, with Ruiz and Antonito added soon after. The substitutions were reactive rather than proactive.
Both teams finished with equal possession at 50 per cent, though the statistics tell a different story. Cádiz registered 64 attacks to Las Palmas' 62, but the visitors took five corners to four and committed far fewer fouls — one yellow card compared to three for the hosts.
To be fair, friendlies rarely decide much beyond fitness and tactical experimentation. Cádiz will look at the result and see three goals conceded, while Las Palmas can take confidence from a performance that outclassed their opponents despite similar attacking numbers.
