New draw achieved by UD Lanzarote in the match corresponding to the eleventh day of the Canarian group of the Third Division. The Rojillos drew one goal against CD El Cotillo, a team that arrived as leader to this weekend's matchday. The locals took the lead through Héctor Umpiérrez and UD Lanzarote achieved the draw with a header from Fran Gil.
Both teams put a lot of intensity into their game in the first minutes of the match, which meant that the attacking actions were not long in coming. Ale Peraza starred in the first warning from the locals, with a shot that went wide of the goal defended by Agoney, a goalkeeper who returned this Sunday to the starting eleven of UD Lanzarote. The response from UD Lanzarote came through Jeremy, with the shot being stopped by goalkeeper Óliver.
CD El Cotillo could have taken the lead. A header from goalkeeper Héctor Umpiérrez was deflected by Agoney. The best chance for UD Lanzarote came close to the first half hour of the match. A shot from Ayoze Pérez was cleared off the line by defender Richard.
The last two chances of the first half went to CD El Cotillo. A deflected header from Ale Peraza and a shot from Tyler that went wide would be the attacking actions of the locals in the final stretch of the first half. The first 45 minutes of the match came to an end with a score of zero.
The second half began with UD Lanzarote pushing forward, a team that was better in the first minutes of the second half. When the Rojillos were playing better, the goal came that put CD El Cotillo ahead on the scoreboard. UD Lanzarote lost the ball in the build-up from the back, Héctor Umpiérrez stole the ball and his powerful shot went into the top corner of the goal defended by Agoney.
UD Lanzarote did not give up after conceding the goal and went in search of the equalizing goal. Javi Betancort and Ayoze Pérez had the best chances for the Rojillos and did not have the necessary success to beat the goal defended by Óliver.
In the final stretch of the match, UD Lanzarote achieved the reward for their greater ambition in attack. In the 80th minute, Marcos Cabrera was in charge of executing a free kick from the left flank, an action that was headed by Fran Gil at the near post, sending the ball into the back of the net. The action had previously cost Richard his second yellow card, leaving the locals with numerical inferiority.
Both teams looked for the winning goal in the final stretch, not being successful in the final meters. The point leaves UD Lanzarote in the middle of the table, although they are only three points away from the positions that would give them the right to play in the promotion phase. In the next match, the Rojillos will receive the visit of UD San Fernando.
