Rojillos manager Adolfo Pérez dissapointed after a bright start

Tenerife B make it three wins out of three whilst the Rojillos have only managed a single point in the last two games and have slipped down to mid table in this fledgling league. Whilst three teams are still on maximum points Lanzarote remain five points adrift of top spot.

The first half of the match didn’t offer too much in the way of entertainment as the majority of play was in the centre of the pitch. The home side headed by ex Lanzarote manager Quico de Diego created the best chances of the opening period with midfielder Alberto´s header falling straight into the arms of the Lanzarote keeper Marco Machín and a shot from defender Jaime which was well saved by the Rojillos number one.

Just like last week Lanzarote conceded a goal in the final play of the first half. Striker Saúl latched onto a long pass and his powerful strike gave his side a deserved 1-0 lead.

Lanzarote came out with much more determination in the second period and despite dominating possession could not find a way through a stubborn Tenerife defence. The Rojillos could only muster up a few long range efforts which rarely worried the Tenerife keeper.

To make matters worse Toñito picked up his second yellow deep into injury time as the Rojillos disappointingly suffered their first defeat of the season. There is no easy task next Sunday as Lanzarote are at home to fourth placed side Las Palmas B.
