SAN ISIDRO 2 LANZAROTE 0
The Rojillos have had to endure a painful weekend. Losing in Tenerife and Las Palmas B scoring a 95th minute winner has left Lanzarote trailing the Gran Canarian side by two points with only one league match remaining.
The Rojillos can only blame themselves as the second from bottom side outplayed the league leaders and deservedly won the match with two second half goals making it a hat trick of consecutive wins. This has given San Isidro real hope of survival by only being two points from safety and with a game in hand on their rivals.
The home side dominated from the outset. The San Isidro two front men Tarek and Pacha both had chances to put their side in front. In the 20th minute Tarek headed over the bar from inside the six yard box and nine minutes later Pacha´s shot whistled past the upright.
The best chance to break the deadlock fell to the Tenerife side in the 37th minute. Striker Pacha was clean through but wasted too much time to pick his spot which allowed a defender to clear the danger with a last gasp block.
Lanzarote´s only strike in anger in the first half fell to Ayoze four minutes before the break. His effort was superbly saved by goalkeeper José Enrique who at full stretch palmed the ball to safety keeping the game scoreless at the half time interval.
The second half began in similar fashion to the first with the Tenerife side looking the most dangerous. Just after the hour mark the hosts deservedly took the lead. After several blocked shots at goal the ball fell to striker Pacha and he made no mistake firing the ball into the back of the net from close range.
Rojillos manager Quico de Diego made the necessary changes bringing on Jonathan Torres and Rúben Rodriguez but this did not alter the state of play. Only Jonathan Torres looked like producing any danger but when the Rojillos came close they were met by a confident looking goalkeeper.
The final nail in the coffin was hammered in three minutes into added on time. Jotha was adjudged to have brought down sub Jairo and midfielder Aday blasted home from the spot giving his side a deserved 2-0 victory.
With just one match remaining Las Palmas B do have the initiative but the league title is still far from a formality. Lanzarote must win at home next week against mid table side C.D. Vera whilst Las Palmas B have to travel to Tenerife and face 14th placed side C.D. Laguna. The Tenerife side will certainly not make life easy for their arch rivals and should Lanzarote win and Las Palmas B only manage a draw then Lanzarote would be declared league Champions on goal difference.
