ESTRELLA CF 0 LANZAROTE 0

15th April 2013

The Rojillos deservedly earn a point against second placed side Estrella CF in an entertaining yet goalless match.

The Gran Canarian side were first to threaten. In the 7^th minute a powerful strike by David Figueroa was superbly saved by the Lanzarote keeper as he dived and just managed to palm the ball away for a corner.

The first half was evenly balanced with both sides creating chances but the game remained scoreless at the break.

The balance of play didn’t change much in the second period though the Rojillos did have the better opportunities to take the lead.

Lanzarote captain Jotha had a strike brilliantly saved in the 75^th minute and five minutes later the same player was unlucky to have a goal disallowed when the ref ordered a free kick to Estrella for an earlier infringement on a defender.

This result means that Lanzarote remain in 15^th spot but Estrella will not be happy with this point as they have dropped to fourth position which is the last play off place. Their rivals CD Mensajero won and have closed the gap between them and Estrella to just a single point.

Lanzarote will have a big say on who will clinch this spot as the Rojillos final home match of the season is against CD Mensajero.

Next weekend Lanzarote are at home against 6^th placed side UD Vecindario at time and day to be confirmed later in the week.
