The Canarian team returns to LaLiga Santander five years later after an irregular end to the season. The match played at the Estadio de Gran Canaria was the antithesis of the comfortable victory achieved by Granada CF in their feud against Leganés.

Nerves and mistakes were the predominant tone for most of the match: static, with little depth in both teams. UD defended in the best way it knows, trying to keep the ball, at its feet, with hardly any aspirations of reaching the area.
