UD Lanzarote Falls to SD Tenisca in Hard-Fought Encounter
This Sunday, UD Lanzarote faced SD Tenisca in a match corresponding to the second round of Group XII in the Tercera Federación. The red-and-whites travelled to La Palma with hopes of securing their second victory of the season, but returned empty-handed following a match heavily influenced by the referee’s decisions, including two disallowed goals while the score remained 0-0.
First Half: A Balanced Affair
According to a club press release, the first half was characterised by parity, with UD Lanzarote holding a slight edge, although they failed to create significant threats against goalkeeper Kylian. The red-and-whites controlled midfield play, facing a rival that sat back defensively.
Disallowed Goals in the Second Half
UD Lanzarote stepped up their game in the second half and even managed to net two goals that were ruled out. The first came from Adrián Machín, but the referee disallowed it for an inadvertent handball by Nadjib, despite allowing the play to continue for several seconds. Just two minutes later, a goal by Alex Cruz was also annulled for offside.
Match Conclusion and Upcoming Fixture
SD Tenisca took the lead in the 74th minute when Agoney converted a cross from one of the flanks inside the area. UD Lanzarote pushed forward in search of an equaliser but conceded a second goal in the final minutes, as Jorge Gómez initiated a counter-attack and set up Amai to score past Ruymán.
The match ended in a 2-0 defeat for UD Lanzarote against SD Tenisca in the second round of the Tercera Federación. Next weekend, the red-and-whites will face CD Mensajero, with the match scheduled for Sunday at 12:30 at the Ciudad Deportiva Lanzarote.
