UD Lanzarote started this Saturday the promotion phase to the Second RFEF, facing Panadería Pulido San Mateo in the first round. The red and whites, well supported by about a hundred in the stands of the Municipal de San Mateo, achieved a valuable draw that leaves the tie open for the second leg next week. Ale Fuentes put UD Lanzarote ahead and David Ramírez equalized in the second half.
The match started with UD Lanzarote dominating, with the first minutes being played very close to the area defended by Alex Guanche. Panadería Pulido San Mateo gradually shook off the dominance of the red and whites, and had several approaches to the domains of the goal defended by Alejandro.
Around the half hour mark, UD Lanzarote took the lead. Ale Fuentes caught a good shot from the edge of the area, and his crossed, low shot ended up crashing into the base of the post to finally lodge in the back of the net. The score was 0-1 at half-time.
Panadería Pulido San Mateo pressed in the first minutes of the second half, and the locals took advantage of the defensive weakness shown by UD Lanzarote to level the score. A cross from the right wing was finished inside the area by David Ramírez, making it 1-1.
In the final minutes, UD Lanzarote had chances to tip the balance back in their favor. The clearest was for Santi Rosa in a one-on-one with goalkeeper Alex Guanche, but the local goalkeeper was victorious in this action.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with UD Lanzarote achieving a valuable draw in the first leg, leaving the tie open for next week's match. If the tie continues at the end of the match and extra time, the red and white team would pass the round without the need for penalties due to their better classification in the regular phase.
