UD Lanzarote suffered the most resounding defeat of the season on Sunday morning against CD Mensajero. The two teams came into this match tied on points, with the team from La Palma being the better side on the field and taking advantage of the goal-scoring opportunities they had. The first goal of the match came four minutes into first-half stoppage time, a real cold shower for the Lanzarote team. The remaining goals came in the second half of the match.

The first half of the match was dominated by CD Mensajero, who came up against a UD Lanzarote side that was well-positioned on the field, although the Lanzarote team struggled when they were attacked down the wings. The first dangerous action of the match was for UD Lanzarote, when Kilian dribbled past several opponents and his cross-shot was sent out for a corner by the Mensajero goalkeeper. Only four minutes had passed in the match and UD Lanzarote were showing their intentions in this match. 

CD Mensajero's response was not long in coming. A header from Iray Barreto was met by a save from goalkeeper Agoney, stretching to prevent the goal. Agoney returned to the UD Lanzarote starting eleven after serving a four-match suspension. Dani López and Rayco also tried, but were not successful in the final shot. 

UD Lanzarote suffered the first setback of the match in the 20th minute. Marcos Cabrera was unable to continue on the field, retiring injured and leaving his place to Echedey. Adolfo Pérez also made some tactical changes in this first half, such as swapping the positions of Ángel Gil and Kennedy, as most of the danger was coming down this wing. 

The first goal of the match came four minutes into first-half stoppage time. Excessive extension and that was used by Mensajero to take the lead. A cross from Juanda was used by Iray Barreto to shoot goalkeeper Agoney and make it 1-0. A result that brought the first half to an end. 

CD Mensajero's dominance continued in the second half of the match and, as in the beginning of the match, the first dangerous chance was for UD Lanzarote. In the 56th minute, Mauri had the equaliser, although his shot went just wide. 

The team from La Palma increased the lead in the 62nd minute of the match. A free kick on the edge of the area was brilliantly executed by Yeray "Arrugado", the ball went over the wall and into the top corner. Agoney's stretch did not prevent the beautiful goal scored by the Mensajero player and which was celebrated with great enthusiasm by the large crowd that gathered in the stands of Silvestre Carrillo.  

With the advantage of two goals, CD Mensajero began to play very comfortably on the field and UD Lanzarote did not give the sensation of being dangerous on the goal defended by Kilian. The sentence came with eight minutes left for the end of the match. A clearance from the UD Lanzarote defence was used by Dani López to make the final 3-0. 

Defeat for UD Lanzarote against CD Mensajero, which relegates the Rojillo team to third position in the Canarian group of the Third Division. CD Marino and Mensajero are escaping, although UD Lanzarote maintains an eleven-point advantage over the fifth-placed team in the category. In the next match, UD Lanzarote will receive the visit of CD Vera, a match that will be played on Sunday at 12:00 hours at the Ciudad Deportiva Lanzarote.
