LANZAROTE   2   UD GRAN TARAJAL   1

The Rojillos made hard work of it but finally took all three points.

Lanzarote’s centre backs did the job with Chucky (photo) giving his side a 1-0 lead belting the ball home at the far post ten minutes into the second half.

The Fuerteventura side levelled through a header in the 65 minute but Raúl restored Lanzarote’s lead two minutes later with a header from a corner.

Sub Javi Martin hit the crossbar with a sweet strike in the 75th minute but Lanzarote had to hang on in the end as keeper Alejandro received his second yellow card as Lanzarote were reduced to 10 men.

Ale Fuentes was sacrificed as Ruyman replaced Alejandro in goal.

The Rojillos remain in third spot and still trail league leaders CD Tenerife B by four points.

Next Saturday Lanzarote are away but are playing on the island versus fellow local club CF San Bartolomé.
