Intense match played between FC Puerto del Carmen and Peña de La Amistad, belonging to the Women's First National League, where the locals tried to continue to be strong at home against one of the leading teams in the category.

The Majorera players showed their strength in attack by taking advantage of the first chance they had in the match. After six minutes, Anabel received a ball in the left corner of the area and shot hard. Naza tried to avoid the goal, and although she managed to touch the ball, the sphere ended up lodging in the back of the net.

The response from the locals was immediate, and just one minute later they were able to return the equalizer to the scoreboard with a shot from Ylenia that went to the post after a steal by Nieves at the edge of the area. The ball, after hitting the crossbar, fell at the feet of Alicia, who failed to shoot inside and the sphere was lost by the baseline.

The Lanzarote team was dominating the match, besieging the goal of goalkeeper Betsy. Alicia had another clear chance in the 19th minute of the match, but the goalkeeper of the Majorera team won again in the play and saved the tie again. Just one minute later, the second visitor goal arrived with a ball between the lines that Giseli received, beating Naza in the one-on-one and extending the differences on the scoreboard.

The team coached by Jack Talbot was not discouraged and reduced the difference in the 23rd minute after a corner kick by Janet that Laura finished off at the near post, making it one to two and filling the Tiñosera squad with hope and excitement again.

Before the break, the third goal of the visiting team arrived, with a direct free kick launched by Sandra, which slipped over the local goalkeeper, despite the stretch to prevent the sphere from entering. With the one to three, the first 45 minutes of the match came to an end, with the locals preparing two substitutions to try to give more strength to the team. Sanfi entered the field replacing Naza, who was injured; while Eva entered replacing Alicia.

Seconds after the match resumed, Dunia was able to put the fourth goal in favor of Peña de La Amistad, but her shot, after taking the center and running towards the goal defended by Sanfi, went to the crossbar.

The local team reduced the difference shortly after with a corner kick by Janet that Manuela finished off at the near post. This goal gave wings to the local players who believed more than ever in achieving the tie and even turning the match around.

Little by little they gained space on the field and the match was played closer and closer to the rival goal, although for this they had to take risks in defensive tasks. Nieves slipped a ball between the lines for Janet, who was left alone against Betsy, but again the former goalkeeper of Orientación Marítima managed to get the sphere and avoid the goal.

The clearest chance to tie the match came after a penalty by Dounia on Nieves in the 76th minute. The penalty was taken by Haimara, but the sphere crashed into the post and prevented the goal from going on the scoreboard.

Even so, the locals continued trying, already with more heart than head, to achieve the tie and save at least one point against one of the most powerful teams in the category, but time passed without the third goal arriving.

The match concluded with the result of 2 to 3, with the three points going to the other side of the Strait of La Bocaina and leaving FC Puerto del Carmen in tenth position at the conclusion of the first round of the championship. Next match day, the tiñoseras will receive CD Orientación Marítima in the conejero derby of the category, still having in mind the two to one defeat they suffered in the Municipal Field of Argana at the opening of the season.
