LANZAROTE 0 CD ATLÉTICO PASO 2

The winners of the 53rd San Ginés tournament were La Palma side CD Atlético Paso and the ladies winners were UDG Tenerife B.

Champions of Lanzarote´s league last season and promoted to the fourth tier CD Atlético Paso were worthy winners looking a little bit sharper than the Rojillos. On the half hour striker Piera created an opportunity for a strike and blasted the ball home from 12 yards to give his side the lead.

There were plenty of chances for both sides in the opening half and that continued in the second period. Lanzarote pressured the La Palma defence trying to get back into the game but with 15 minutes remaining the fourth tier side broke and a strike from the edge of the box whistled inside the right hand post to make the final score 0-2.

The Rojillos will not be too disappointed as it was a good performance and also with three of the four players sidelined through injury though due back to training on Monday there were plenty of positives.

In the ladies triangular tournament with the tree teams playing each other for 45 minutes it was two local sides that played first. FC Puerto Del Carmen dominated play against O. Marítima but it was the latter that got the breakthrough midway through the half with a neat chip over the keeper. Puerto Del Carmen deservedly levelled but it was Marítima that won on penalty kicks.

Favourites UDG Tenerife B then played Marítima and showed their class winning the match 3-0. It could have been many more but the Lanzarote keeper was in outstanding form.
Tenerife ladies then went on to play Puerto Del Carmen and dominated the match but a solid defensive performance from the local girls only allowed the side two leagues above them to win by 1-0.

It was a great evening with several hundred coming to watch and Lanzarote fans will be delighted to see the new refreshment kiosk up and running. Unfortunately hot snacks were not available but that should be rectified before the opening home league match on September 18th.

Lanzarote´s next match will be in the tournament in San Bartolomé on Thursday 25th August at 8pm versus San Bartolomé. Two days later on Saturday 27th Lanzarote will either be playing CD Tenerife B or UD Las Palmas B at either 3.30pm or 5.45pm. It depends on results and will be confirmed on the 25th.
