The new coach of Unión Sur Yaiza, Miguel Fernández, made his debut this weekend by making good the age-old and footballing saying of “new coach, sure victory”. The green and black team defeated Unión Puerto (2-1) in a match played at the Municipal de Yaiza corresponding to matchday 26 of the Tercera División RFEF.
Yaiza achieved its seventh victory and three golden points that move them away from the relegation zone against a team that arrived boosted after winning several games in a row. The match did not start in the best way for the locals. Despite the initial impetus of Unión Sur Yaiza, the first goal fell to the Majorera side.
In the first minutes of the match, the first shot from Acorán arrived to test goalkeeper Nauzet. But it was going to be Agustín Gallego who, in the 10th minute, took advantage of a counterattack after a pass from Facu to cross in front of Álex Medina and open the scoring (0-1). Montaña la Cinta took a few minutes to react to the blow. In the 13th minute, Facu was going to have the second in his hand when he shot alone and head-on from a free kick. A marking error that "could have meant a new goal for the visitors", the team mentions. The dominance of the center of the field by Puerto continued with Juanma Pérez and Yared.
After a break to hydrate, Yaiza's reaction arrived. In the 34th minute, Roy punished Nauzet's crossbar, already beaten, from outside the area. The last minutes were going to be green and black but without the prize of a goal. In the 38th minute, a shot from Ubay was lost over the Majorera crossbar and Roy, in the 42nd minute, after a save from Nauzet, shot low and weakly, but Iván took the ball out before it reached the goal line. Before the break, as if touching the clouds, Nauzet caught the ball, but when falling, he lost control of it and Nico, attentive, failed to shoot into an empty goal. The second half was not going to disappoint anyone. Two committed teams. Yaiza was going to continue the inertia with which they finished the first half.
In the first minute after the restart, Roy crossed the shot that Nauzet rejected. Just three minutes later, Emiliano took a dry shot that the visiting goalkeeper rejected again. In the 60th minute, the longed-for equalizer was going to arrive. Emiliano himself got rid of several defenders to shoot at the Majorera goal (1-1). Maxi Barrera's team "abused the long ball a bit in the face of local harassment but, curiously, a ball from the left Agustín headed timidly a cross from Aytami, who entered at halftime, and Álex Medina stopped it without complications."
"A back and forth" began between both squads that "delighted" football lovers but worried "the heart doctors" of the green and black fans. In the 67th minute, Pope headed and Nauzet managed to deflect it over the crossbar. Yaiza didn't have enough and was looking for the three points. A shot from Ubay met the visiting goalkeeper again. In the following play, with the final whistle over their heads. Trovento attracted the defense and passed to Javi Melián who gave Senem a ball that he shot low without Nauzet's save managing to stop it. Euphoria in the Municipal de Yaiza.
With time up, Senem shot at the post and Unión Puerto looked for the equalizer but Álex Medina became a giant again. Yaiza managed to kill the game without giving the visitors more options. Three points that continue to leave Miguel Fernández's team out of the dangerous area of the table with 29 points. Unión Puerto remains in tenth position with 35 points. In relegation are Ibarra (24 points) who lost at home to Mensajero (2-3),
Next week Yaiza visits San Fernando, co-leader of the category along with Mensajero, both with 49 points.
