Unión Sur Yaiza conquered a valuable point at the Antonio Dominguez against CD Marino, and even had options to bring the victory to Lanzarote thanks to an unbeatable second half. A point that allows Carlos Ramírez's team to continue in the fight for the top four positions in the Third Division and continue to keep their options intact for the second part of the season. Yaiza's equalizing goal was scored by defender Aridane in the final stretch of the match.
The strong wind was the main protagonist of the match that faced CD Marino against Unión Sur Yaiza on Sunday morning. Added to the wind was the poor condition of the grass, battered due to the children's soccer tournament held last week by the Professional Soccer League. The game in the first part of the match was not very attractive.
CD Marino dominated the game in the first half of the match, although this dominance did not translate into dangerous chances, with most of the attacking actions ending in the vicinity of the area defended by Ruymán. The first dangerous chance of the match was for Unión Sur Yaiza in the 10th minute of the first half. Javi Melián stood alone inside the area and his shot crashed against the body of Sergio Aragoneses.
CD Marino's response would come with a shot from Jonathan Sesma that was deflected by Ruymán for a corner kick. After the first hour of the match, CD Marino's goal would arrive. A free kick from Airam was headed by Balduino into the back of the net. With the score at 1-0, the first half of the match came to an end.
Unión Sur Yaiza stretched lines in the second half and went in search of the equalizing goal. The first warning was given four minutes into the game, with a shot from Vladimir that the Marino goalkeeper deflected for a corner kick. Yaiza pressured CD Marino's ball exit, with the Tenerife team showing itself as a team lacking ideas and giving facilities in all lines.
The reward for the better game of Unión Sur Yaiza in the second half resulted in a goal in the 83rd minute. A quick counterattack by the Lanzarote team was culminated by Aridane with a header that was lodged in the back of the goal defended by Sergio Aragoneses.
The equalizing goal caused the CD Marino players to rush, seeing how a victory was escaping them that moved them away from the possibility of depending on themselves to become leaders of the category again. Unión Sur Yaiza defended with order, although they did not have many problems to withstand the valuable draw they were achieving.
Important point achieved by Unión Sur Yaiza on Sunday morning at the Antonio Domínguez, against a CD Marino lacking ideas and that showed some of the shortcomings that make it an irregular team despite the potential of its squad. The goal difference means that Unión Sur Yaiza loses fourth place in favor of Sporting San José. In the next match, Yaiza travels to La Palma to face CD Mensajero, second classified in the Canarian group of the Third Division.
