With their heads held high, the players of Club Deportivo Tahíche left the Municipal of Villaverde (Fuerteventura), despite the 2-1 defeat against the team from Majorera, which left them without the possibility of achieving promotion to the Regional Preferente of Las Palmas. Tahíche showed their face throughout the match and had chances in the final stretch of the game to equalize a match that had become difficult with goals from Yeray Hernández and Saulo. Yaco reduced the difference and the Lanzarote team turned to Julio's goal, without the necessary fortune in the final meters to send the ball into the back of the net.
Sociedad Deportiva Villaverde arrived at the return match with a slight advantage, thanks to the draw achieved seven days ago at the Municipal of Tahíche. The white and blue team needed to score, a circumstance that did not cause them to rush onto the field. On the contrary, they remained calm and aware that opportunities would come as the minutes passed. Villaverde worked hard in defense, preventing the Tahíche players from getting close with danger.
CD Tahíche gave the first warning in the 5th minute. Maikel Padrón, a player who had been coddled throughout the week, entered along the right wing, sent a cross to the heart of the area and Yaco, by a few centimeters, did not reach the shot when he was in front of the goal. These types of matches are not exempt from controversy and in the 20th minute the referee did not want to signal a clear penalty committed on Yeray Brito. The CD Tahíche player entered the area and was pushed in the back by a defender. Neither the referee nor the assistant covering Tahíche's attack saw anything punishable in this action.
The best chance for SD Villaverde Norte would come in a set piece in the 34th minute of the first half. Saulo executed a free kick from the right side, goalkeeper Miguel touched the ball with the tips of his fingers, enough for the ball to end up crashing into the crossbar of the goal. A scare for the Tahíche fans who traveled to the Municipal of Villaverde.
CD Tahíche sinned in the first half by not completing the attacking plays and not giving the last pass when they were in the vicinity of the area. A first half that concluded with a shot from the youth player Jeremy from the edge of the area that went a few centimeters from the crossbar of the goal defended by Julio. With the score tied at zero, the first 45 minutes of the match would come to an end.
The first minutes of the second half were marked by equality. The fight was intense in the center of the field and the two teams fought to take control of the game. Maikel Padrón and José Vicente tried to impose their law in this area of the field.
SD Villaverde took the lead in the 52nd minute. A loose ball on the edge of the area was taken advantage of by Yeray Hernández, who volleyed the ball and it ended up sneaking in next to one of the posts. There was nothing the Tahíche goalkeeper could do against Yeray Hernández's shot. The visiting players protested this action, understanding that a Villaverde player was offside when the play that generated the goal began.
Things got more difficult for CD Tahíche in the 57th minute. After a corner kick, one of the biggest dangers for the Majorera team, Saulo headed the ball inside the area and the ball slipped from Miguel's hands as he tried to block the shot. An unfortunate play for the Tahíche goalkeeper, who lamented the failure and received encouragement from his teammates. It was Miguel himself who saved Tahíche in the 65th minute, stopping a shot from Saulo from the edge of the area.
The CD Tahíche players did not give up and went in search of the goal that would put them back in the tie. A goal that would come in the 69th minute, with Yaco being the author of the goal. There were 21 minutes ahead and a goal would give CD Tahíche the tie and promotion. The Lanzarote team launched themselves on the Villaverde goal, bottling up the Majorera team on their field. Adrián had a good chance, seeing how his placed shot was repelled by Julio.
The entry of Aday gave more fluidity to the CD Tahíche midfield. And it was precisely Aday who had one of the best chances to tie the game. A foul committed on Yaco, in which the Villaverde player had to be sent off for being the last defender, was executed by Aday and the shot next to the post was repelled by Julio.
CD Tahíche tried by all means, finding a Villaverde defense that dedicated itself to clearing all the balls that came to the vicinity of the area. An attempt that did not translate into more goals, reaching the conclusion of the match with the victory of Villaverde by 2 to 1. Sociedad Deportiva Villaverde Norte became on Sunday midday the new team of the Regional Preferente of Las Palmas.
