The UD Lanzarote returned to the Ciudad Deportiva Lanzarote this Sunday, kicking off the season with a match against CD Tenerife “C”. It was a game that required patience to secure the three points at stake. The Tenerife B team took the lead in the first half, but goals from Adrián Machín and Raúl in the second half turned the result around.
Match Overview
From the outset, UD Lanzarote dominated possession and began creating dangerous opportunities. The clearest chance came in the 10th minute when a through ball allowed Nadjib to break into the box, setting up Adrián Machín for a shot that was saved by the goalkeeper. After the first half-hour, CD Tenerife “C” took the lead through Guille.
Second Half Action
The second half began with another chance for UD Lanzarote, as Nadjib’s shot from the edge of the area struck the crossbar. The red and whites had to remain patient during this half, observing their opponents waste time at every opportunity, which disrupted the match’s rhythm.
The reward for their persistence came in the 78th minute. A precise cross from Lisandro on the left was met with a header from Adrián Machín that found the back of the net, equalising the score. Just two minutes later, Mario Román headed in a cross from the right, but a defender cleared the ball off the line, allowing Raúl to react quickly and score the second.
Final Minutes
The referee added nine minutes of stoppage time due to the numerous delays, during which UD Lanzarote ensured their opponents did not create any further chances. The red and whites celebrated their first victory of the season in their return to the Ciudad Deportiva Lanzarote.
