UD SOTAVENTO   2   LANZAROTE   1

The Rojillos problems continue as they lose to the second from bottom club who in turn move up one position to 16th.

Lanzarote began the game well and had plenty of opportunities in the opening 15 minutes to take the lead.

In the 19th minute a good diagonal run and a perfectly weighted pass opened up the Lanzarote defence. The strike into the far left was beyond Ruyman and the Fuerteventura side were 1-0 in front.

For the remainder of the half Lanzarote had the home side on the back foot but lacked that quality in the final third.

In the 3rd minute of the second half the Rojillos were caught on the break and defender Oliver barged the striker off the ball and the official correctly awarded a spot kick.

Luck was on Lanzarote’s side as an abysmal penalty kick flew way over the crossbar.

This seemed to wake Lanzarote up but it wasn’t until the 73rd minute that they drew level at 1-1 with an excellent free kick from 25 yards nestling into the left-hand corner.

Just as one thought the Rojillos would grab the game by the throat, a terrible mix up in defence gifted the Fuerteventura side a goal by Pérez to go 2-1 up in the 79th minute.

In the 88th minute a well worked move gave Ale Gil a free header from six yards. Normally so reliable with his heading ability the Lanzarote centre back could only hit the post when it seemed certain that he was going to score.

Next Sunday 22nd November at 11.30am Lanzarote will face local rivals CD U.S. Yaiza who will be going into this match with plenty of confidence after a 5-1 win leaving them in the playoff positions.
