The match started with Leganes taking the initiative, searching for an opening in Valladolid's defensive line. Yan Diomande had a good chance early on, but Karl Hein made a smart save to deny him. Diomande later created another chance for Dani Raba, but Hein was again quick to react.
Leganes finally broke the deadlock after 25 minutes when Javi Hernandez scored a beautiful side-footed goal. The home fans were ecstatic, but their joy was short-lived as Munir El Haddadi was ruled offside in the build-up.
Diomande continued to impress, scoring a stunning goal and providing an assist for Juan Cruz. Leganes was cruising at halftime, but their lead was short-lived as Espanyol took the lead in their match against Las Palmas, plunging Leganes back into the drop zone.
The second half was a low-key affair, with Valladolid already relegated and Leganes unable to affect the league table. Despite a good performance, Leganes ultimately finished the season with a disappointing result.
Valladolid, who have been relegated with a record-breaking 12 straight LaLiga defeats, conceded a league-high 90 goals this season. Leganes, who gained promotion together with Valladolid last year, will return to the second tier after a disappointing campaign.
