Leganes makes winning debut in La Liga
A LATE goal gave Leganes a winning debut in the Spanish league with a 1-0 victory at Celta Vigo, while Las Palmas roared back for a 4-2 win at Valencia to complete the opening round of matches on Monday.
Leganes earned promotion to Spain’s top flight for the first time in the 88-year history of the Madrid club in June.
Leganes held its own with Celta throughout the match and took the lead when Victor Diaz volleyed in a headed pass in the 75th minute.
“You can’t ask for more,” Diaz said. “A debut in the first division and a goal for me.”
Celta, which finished sixth last season and reached the semifinals of the Copa del Rey, hadn’t lost in 12 matches at its Balaidos Stadium.
Marko Livaja scored a brace to help Las Palmas prevail at Mestalla Stadium.
Valencia striker Santi Mina netted his first of two goals with a powerful header, thump in from Dani Parejo’s corner in the sixth minute. But Livaja leveled with a header 10 minutes later, and Jonathan Viera soon put the visitors in front from the penalty spot after Cancelo had fouled Dani Castellano.
