CD Telde 0 – 5 UD Las Palmas C: Las Palmas’ third side cruise to emphatic friendly victory

UD Las Palmas C delivered a dominant pre-season performance with a resounding 5-0 win over local opponents CD Telde in an international club friendly on 6 August 2026. The match, played at Telde’s home ground, served as an important fitness and sharpness test for both sides ahead of their respective league campaigns, and it was Las Palmas’ youthful third team that stole the show with a clinical attacking display.

Match overview

From the opening whistle, Las Palmas C took control of possession and pinned Telde deep inside their own half. The visitors’ high-pressing system caused constant problems for the home defence, and the early breakthrough set the tone for a one-sided encounter. By full-time, the scoreboard read a comprehensive 5-0, with Las Palmas C showing impressive efficiency in front of goal.

For Telde, the fixture was always going to be a tough test against a well-drilled academy side from a professional club. Despite their efforts to stay compact and hit on the counter-attack, the gap in sharpness and technical quality became increasingly apparent as the match wore on.

First half: early control and clinical finishing

Las Palmas C opened the scoring inside the first 20 minutes after a well-worked move down the right flank. A low cross into the box was met with a first-time finish that gave the home goalkeeper no chance. The early goal visibly boosted the visitors’ confidence, and they doubled their lead shortly before the half-hour mark with a curling effort from the edge of the area.

Telde attempted to respond by pushing higher up the pitch, but this only created more space for the Las Palmas attackers to exploit. A third goal arrived just before half-time, following a defensive mix-up that allowed the away side to slot home from close range. At 3-0, the contest was effectively decided.

Second half: Las Palmas C keep the pressure on

The second half followed a similar pattern. Las Palmas C made several substitutions to rotate their squad, but maintained their intensity and tactical discipline. They added a fourth goal midway through the half with a powerful header from a corner, and completed the scoring late on with a breakaway finish that sealed a memorable 5-0 victory.

Telde showed character to keep working until the final whistle, and their goalkeeper made several smart saves to prevent an even heavier defeat. However, they were rarely able to sustain attacks against a well-organised Las Palmas C defence.

Standout performers

While the goals were shared among several players, Las Palmas C’s attacking unit deserved particular praise. Their movement off the ball, quick passing, and composure in the final third were the key differences between the two sides. The team’s youngest players also impressed, highlighting the strength of the UD Las Palmas academy system.

For Telde, the defensive line worked hard throughout but was simply overwhelmed by the visitors’ constant forward pressure. The home side will take positives from spells of possession but will need to improve their concentration and decision-making before the competitive season begins.

What this result means

As a friendly, the result carries no official weight in any league table, but it offers valuable insight into both teams’ pre-season progress. For Las Palmas C, the 5-0 victory will boost morale and provide confidence ahead of their upcoming league fixtures. For Telde, the match serves as a clear indicator of the level required to compete against professional academy sides.

Friendly matches like this one are often used by coaches to experiment with formations and give minutes to fringe players. With a convincing result and a clean sheet, Las Palmas C’s coaching staff will undoubtedly be pleased with what they saw on 6 August 2026.
