LANZAROTE   1   UD SAN FERNANDO   1

The Rojillos in truth had little to play for but showed tremendous spirit in a match that was played in intense heat.

In the fourth minute Rojillos striker Moha skipped past defenders and rounded the keeper but from a narrow angle he could only shave the woodwork.

Ten minutes later and a superb run from Captain Raúl led to another great chance for Moha but this time the ball went agonizingly past the far post.

The Gran Canarian side are only goal difference from top spot and midway through the first half some excellent team play led to a headed goal to give them a 0-1 lead.

The Rojillos battled away and on the third time of asking Moha chipped the oncoming keeper planting the ball in the left hand corner to level the game.

In the second half despite the heat it was end to end stuff. In the 70th minute a mistimed challenged by Loukou earned him his second yellow card and Lanzarote were down to 10 men.

UD San Fernando smelt blood and pushed forward but they were met with a resilient makeshift defence.

When there was a chance for a counterattack Ale Fuentes, Machín, Yeray Tavio and Nadjib broke with urgency and Lanzarote did have the better chances.

On one of these breaks a square ball across the six yard box looked destined for Yeray Tavio to win it for his side but a miraculous save from the keeper denied Lanzarote their 14th home win of the season.

Lanzarote remain in eighth spot and next Saturday 25th April travel to Gran Canaria to face third placed side UD Tamaraceite at 12 noon.
