UD Lanzarote continues to add points and is getting closer to the goal of permanence. On Sunday, they won 2-1 against UD Telde, in a match with little quality and difficult in many phases of the game. Just before halftime, Echedey put UD Lanzarote ahead on the scoreboard. In the second half, José Manuel equalized for Telde, and in the final stretch, Marcos Cabrera was in charge of scoring the winning goal for the Lanzarote team.
The first half was monotonous, almost without rhythm, and with many interruptions due to the large number of fouls committed in the midfield. UD Lanzarote gave the first warning. In the 6th minute, a cross from Raúl from the wing was poisoned and would end up crashing into the crossbar of the goal defended by Oliver.
UD Telde did not give up on the attack and had chances. In the 7th minute, Yeray controlled a ball inside the area, turned around, and his shot was stopped by Agoney low down. Minutes later, a free kick from Kilián put Agoney in trouble, with the Rojillo goalkeeper stopping it in two stages. A good combination between Toñito and Rosmen was one of the few offensive brushstrokes from Lanzarote in this first half. Rosmen's shot did not find the three posts and went wide.
Minutes passed and hardly anything happened on the field until, in the 42nd minute, UD Lanzarote managed to take the lead. A ball behind the defense was picked up by Echedey, who precisely lifted the ball over Oliver's exit, and the ball ended up sneaking into the back of the net. A goal that led to halftime, with UD Lanzarote taking the lead on the scoreboard.
The second half had a little more rhythm, and there were chances at both goals. UD Telde equalized in the 14th minute of the second half. An entry by José Manuel down the right wing ended with a shot that beat goalkeeper Agoney.
UD Lanzarote went in search of the goal that would give them the victory and enjoyed good chances. A shot from Echedey that went close to the post and a free kick from Marcos Cabrera that crashed into the crossbar were some of the warnings from the Rojillos. Telde also created danger from set pieces. Ismael took a free kick in the 78th minute, and Agoney's hand prevented the ball from going into the back of the net.
The winning goal for UD Lanzarote would come in the 82nd minute. A good play by Toñito down the wing served to get rid of two opponents, take a cross that was finished by Marcos Cabrera at the far post, which the goalkeeper rejected in the first instance. The loose ball fell back to Marcos, who did not miss the opportunity to make it 2-1.
Until the end of the match, it was a case of wanting and not being able to for UD Telde, running into the solid defense of UD Lanzarote. The greatest danger from the Telde team came in set-piece actions and in the balls that they were able to hang in the area defended by the Rojillos. The score would not move again, and UD Lanzarote kept the three points.
With this victory, UD Lanzarote is placed in the eleventh position in the standings with 32 points. In the next match, the Rojillo team travels to Gran Canaria to face Estrella CF.
