The visitors were set on the path to victory by Taisei Miyashiro's 29th-minute goal, which was followed by Manuel Fuster sealing the win in the 69th minute.

Miyashiro's Early Strike Sets the Pace
The match opened with Las Palmas taking an early lead through Taisei Miyashiro, who found the net on 29 minutes. This goal not only gave Las Palmas the advantage but also set the tone for the rest of the match, as AD Ceuta struggled to find their footing. The first half saw Ceuta’s J. Romero receive a yellow card shortly after, highlighting the mounting frustration in the home side’s ranks.
Fuster Finishes the Job
Las Palmas continued their control in the second half, and despite some spirited attempts by Ceuta, they extended their lead when Manuel Fuster scored in the 69th minute, assisted by Miyashiro. The hosts could not capitalize on their slightly higher possession and were limited to shots that rarely threatened the opposing goalkeeper, illustrating a lack of cutting edge in front of goal.
