UD Lanzarote finishes 13th, with 50 points
For its part, UD Lanzarote finished the season with an away defeat against Univeridad de Las Palmas (2-0), who were playing for everything and who, despite the victory, could not get among the top four. The team from Lanzarote was unlucky with the early injury of goalkeeper Alberto, who had to be replaced at the first opportunity.
It was a match with a lot of tension and few scoring chances. The first half ended with a penalty goal from "Uni", a goal that ended up undermining the few stimulations that the team from Lanzarote had in the match.
Paco Gutiérrez, the "rojillo" coach, declared this afternoon on the entity's official website: "This match has been a faithful reflection of everything that has happened to us in the League." The coach from Madrid also said: "It has been a very long season, but I think we have covered our great objectives. There have been moments of good football and, above all, we have guaranteed the presence of Unión Deportiva Lanzarote for another year in the Second Division B.", he concluded.
At the end of the season, UD Lanzarote occupies 13th place in the general classification, having added 50 points.
