UNIÓN VIERA 2 LANZAROTE 1
6th April 2014
The Rojillos are really going to have to do something about their horrendous away form next season. In their last 13 outings they have picked up a measly four points and things got no better against strugglers Unión Viera.
Lanzarote began the match the much better of the two sides. In the 20th minute the Rojillos deservedly took the lead when midfielder Javi Betancort won the ball off a defender and his perfectly placed pass across goal was gift wrapped for Lanzarote´s leading striker Rosmen to tap in and send the Rojillos into a 0-1 lead.
The Gran Canarian side woke up after this setback and began to threaten. Ten minutes before half time and the home side were level. A cross swung in was met by striker Samuel who headed across the goal and into the far post leaving the Rojillos keeper no chance.
Two minutes into added on time in the first half and the relegation threatened side saw light at the end of the tunnel as they snatched a goal and went into the break with a 2-1 lead.
Lanzarote dominated the second half but with the season long problem of being unable to score the home side never looked in too much danger.
The Rojillos best chance came in the final moments of the match. Following a free kick the ball fell to central defender Adrián Martín but his shot flew off a defender and away for a corner.
With their second win on the bounce Unión Viera move one place above the relegation zone and Lanzarote remain in 12th spot.
Next week the Rojillos are at home but the game has been brought forward a day. The game has been confirmed for Saturday at 5.30pm kick off versus UD Vecindario.
