CD HERBANIA   2   LANZAROTE   1

The Rojillos suffer their first defeat of the season away in Fuerteventura and slip to fourth position and are three points from the top spot.

It was a good entertaining first half with the hosts taking the lead in the 18th minute. In the 31st minute a low strike from the edge of the box by Santi Rosa (photo) levelled the scores and the Rojillos began to look the better side.

A minute into stoppage time in the first half and the home side caught out Lanzarote on the break to make the score 2-1 at the interval.

Lanzarote couldn’t find much rhythm in the second period as Herbania seemed to take every opportunity to slow the game down. The referee could have been stronger to prevent this time wasting but as naïve as I am I believe players should be much more honest.

It came down to the Rojillos failing to break down the Fuerteventura side but next week the players can go some way to repair that damage when they are at home on Sunday 14th January at 12 noon versus UD Tamaraceite.
