UD Lanzarote could not extend its good run of results and saw its streak of three consecutive victories cut short, falling 1-0 to Real Unión de Tenerife. The only goal of the match came in the second half, with the Tenerife team scoring from a penalty awarded by the referee. A defeat that relegates the red-and-white team to third place in the Tercera Federación standings.
The match was quite even in the first half, with two teams fighting to gain control of the game. The clearest chance of the first half fell to UD Lanzarote in the 13th minute and came from a set piece. Pablo took a free kick from the right flank, Agoney headed it on at the far post, and the close-range header from Blas was saved by goalkeeper Yan Carlos with a good intervention.
Real Unión de Tenerife was better in the first minutes of the second half, and in the 20th minute, the action that tipped the scales occurred. Nico entered the box and was fouled by Agoney, with the referee signaling a penalty. Nico himself took charge of executing the penalty kick, making it 1-0.
UD Lanzarote's reaction was quite timid, and they generated very few chances until the end of the match. A free kick by Nadjib from the right edge of the box, going slightly high, should be highlighted. And an incursion by Junior, with defender Daylo preventing the final shot.
UD Lanzarote's 1-0 defeat against Real Unión de Tenerife, a result that relegates the red team to third place and leaves them five points behind the leaders. On Wednesday, UD Lanzarote will play their postponed match against UD San Fernando in Gran Canaria, starting at 6:00 PM at the Eleuterio Valerón.
