Unión Sur Yaiza continues without breaking the curse of playing at home (1-3)

Unión Sur Yaiza suffered a new defeat at home on Thursday morning, losing 1-3 to Estrella CF. The Lanzarote team continues to be unable to offer their fans a good result at home and it has been more than three months since they left the three points at the Municipal de Yaiza. Carlos Ramírez's team was able in the second half to tie a match that had become uphill in the final stretch of the first half. A disputed penalty put Estrella ahead and in extra time, the Gran Canaria team achieved the sentence. 

The beginning of the match was very intense, with dangerous chances in both goals. The first warning was given by Estrella, with Robert taking advantage of a bad save by goalkeeper Doramas and Dani García being the one who took the ball under the posts. The response from Unión Sur Yaiza was immediate, and it would come in a counterattack that Miguel Yunes was unable to complete. 

The clearest chance of the first half would come in the 6th minute and would be for the local team. Ubay won the back line, put a pass back for the arrival of Javi Melián and his shot would end up crashing into the crossbar of the goal. The fast-paced start to the match was a mirage and the speed of the game faded as the minutes passed. The match would begin to develop in the wide area of the pitch and there were hardly any arrivals at either of the two goals. 

With two minutes remaining until the end of the first half, Estrella CF would take the lead. The passivity of the Unión Sur Yaiza defense was key to facilitating the Gran Canaria team's goal. Acoidán took advantage of this passivity to head the ball into the back of the net. With the score at 0-1, the first half of the match would come to an end. 

The second half of the match began with a chance for Unión Sur Yaiza. Aridane headed a ball in the 49th minute, with the shot going to the left of the goal defended by Roberto. Ubay also tried with a header that would not find the three posts of the Estrella goal. 

The equalizer would come in the 66th minute of the match. Good ball in depth that Dani García put in, Fouad controlled the ball inside the area, gave way for the arrival of Miguel Yunes and he sent the ball into the goal with a strong shot. A goal that gave Yaiza wings, with the locals turning to find the goal of victory. 

The match would be decided in favor of Estrella CF in the 77th minute. Chelo fell inside the area after fighting for a ball with Robert, and the referee pointed out the maximum penalty. A penalty disputed by the local team, considering that the foul had occurred at the limit of the area. Echedey was in charge of executing the maximum penalty and establishing the 1 to 2 on the scoreboard. 

Unión Sur Yaiza could have put the tie on the scoreboard. A pass from Aridane could not be used by Miguel Yunes. And when Yaiza was most focused on finding the equalizer, Estrella's third goal arrived. In extra time, Dani culminated a counterattack to establish the definitive 1 to 3 on the scoreboard. 

New defeat for Unión Sur Yaiza at home this season and it has been many months since they offered a joy to the fans who come to the Municipal de Yaiza. The Lanzarote team will play its penultimate match at home next week, receiving the visit of CD El Cotillo.
