It was an important match that FC Puerto del Carmen had to play last Saturday to gain ground in the standings with the teams in the lower zone of the Women's First National League, and everything seemed to be going well for the Lanzarote interests when Alicia, in the 19th minute, put those from La Tiñosa ahead, giving them peace of mind.
Something that had rarely been seen this season was the FC Puerto del Carmen players playing with confidence away from their home ground, and that was achieved thanks to Alicia's goal. A security that increased after half an hour of the match, when Nieves scored the second goal from a corner kick.
Before the break, the team from Gran Canaria reduced the deficit by taking advantage of a Lanzarote error, with a bad delivery of a ball in the defensive zone that Zay received, mounted the counterattack and beat Naza, to leave the score at 1-2 before the break.
On the return to the field, FC Puerto del Carmen began to have problems maintaining solidity in the center of the field and that was noticed by Beatríz Mera's team to gain integers, becoming stronger and starting to believe in their possibilities.
The impossibility of making three passes in a row forced Jack Talbot to correct the eleven that he had arranged and with it the tactical disposition, but the second local goal arrived, through Zay and the hecatomb began. The Lanzarote team collapsed and stopped believing in themselves, repeating the story of many away games during this season.
The dynamics of the match could have changed if Nieves had lodged in the back of the net a clear opportunity that she had in a header three meters from the goal, but it was not so, and, however, the Gran Canaria team responded with a third goal, scored by Zay, which served to sign a hat trick.
Already, with the players dejected and without the capacity to react, the fourth arrived in the last seconds, to give the final touch to a clash that began with many illusions, but ended with a new defeat.
