FC Puerto del Carmen coach Jack Talbot had warned that they had to be very careful with CD Tarsa's game, where the center of the field has little presence and where the long ball takes on special importance.
So the approach of the Lanzarote team changed, without a fixed forward, the coach of the Tiñoseras proposed a midfield with a square, with much more ball and thus create and generate with little opposition from the rivals, having numerical superiority in the wide area and ease to leave. It was planned like this and it turned out like this.
The only thing that was not in the British coach's plan was Haimara's injury 15 minutes into the game. The Lanzarote defender was injured and the ambulance had to come to take her to the health center and evaluate her. Bone fracture has been ruled out, but a rupture of the Achilles tendon is not ruled out, until the appropriate resonance is performed, which could be a new long-term injury within the Tiñosero team. Half an hour later, when the ambulance arrived, the game resumed.
The local opportunities were several, as were the visitors'. The difference was in the elaboration of some and the set pieces of others, but opportunities, all legitimate, after all. The Lanzarote team had up to 8 shots on goal in the first half, but it was not until the 44th minute that they managed to beat Candela's goal.
Ylenia and Nieves make a series of combinations between them, with Ylenia getting a shot that went over the palm tree goalkeeper, who could do nothing to prevent the goal, opening the scoring just before the teams went to the locker room.
Despite the goal scored by the Lanzarote team before the break, the game did not change in terms of the coaches' approaches, so the dynamic was the same. More ball for the locals than for the visitors and more arrivals at Candela's goal, nine in this second half, than at Naza's, who had a somewhat more placid game than her rival.
The substitutions did not change the panorama either, they only gave more fresh air to the teams, and then came the goal of the sentence. Janet entered on the wing waiting for the cross inside the area for up to three players, with Nieves being the one who managed to finish off the ball and beat the visiting goalkeeper, putting the second goal on the scoreboard.
And that's where the game ended. Without a visitor reaction and with the locals satisfied with the three points in their locker, time passed until the end of the 90 minutes. There are already 9 points that separate FC Puerto del Carmen from the relegation places, with 7 games remaining until the competition ends. Next week the Lanzarote team visits San Antonio Pureza, a team that is three points away from the Tiñoseras.
