UD Lanzarote visited the Annex of the Gran Canaria Stadium on Sunday at noon to face UD Las Palmas Atlético, who had six consecutive victories and held the lead in Group XII of the Third Federation. The Rojillos were outplayed in the first half, and in the second, they were clearly superior to the yellow subsidiary, which allowed them to achieve the equalizing goal and have chances to take the victory.
UD Las Palmas Atlético took control of the game in the first half, although without being able to generate excessive dangerous actions on the goal defended by Alejandro. UD Lanzarote suffered without having the ball in their possession, and in the offensive zone, they did not have an attacking reference due to the absence of Di Renzo due to suspension.
After the first quarter of an hour of the match. UD Las Palmas Atlético took the lead on the scoreboard. The locals took advantage of an error in the ball exit from the defensive line to steal and the ball reached Pau Ferrer, who did not forgive to make it 1-0.
The changes made at halftime, with the entry of Ayoze and Guize, substantially improved the game of UD Lanzarote. Two minutes into the game, Ismael Traore entered from the left, passed to Ayoze Pérez, and the shot from inside the area went over the crossbar. And shortly after, Ismael again entered from the left, passing to León Gómez, and the low shot was stopped by Nicolau with a good intervention.
The reward for the better game of UD Lanzarote would come with four minutes remaining in the match. A strong shot from León Gómez from the edge of the area found Nicolau's hand so that the ball ended up crashing into the crossbar, and Ismael Traore picked up the rebound to score into an empty net. UD Lanzarote could have taken the victory in the minutes of the extension. León Gómez executed a corner kick, Ayoze Pérez headed at the near post, and the ball went slightly high. With the tie at one goal, the end of the match was reached, adding a point for the Rojillos to remain in third position.
