Unión Deportiva Lanzarote made it five home wins out of their five matches played in a pulsating match which was played in intense heat.
The La Palma side started the game the much better of the two sides and had Lanzarote chasing shadows for the first ten minutes.
It didn’t take long for the Rojillos to regain possession and begin taking the game to the visitors. In the 13th minute Rosmen stole the ball on the edge of the area and found Toñito at the far post, the winger made no mistake blasting the ball home to put his side 1-0 up.
The match was being played with such a great pace you had to wonder when it would drop as the temperature was pushing 30 degrees. In the 21st minute Mensajero won a free kick on the edge of the Lanzarote box in the centre as they had done a couple of minutes earlier, in their previous attempt the ball was struck into the wall but on this occasion midfielder Iray found the tiniest of gaps as the ball flew high into the Lanzarote´s goalkeeper right hand post giving the Rojillos number one stopper Agoney no chance at all with an absolute beauty.
The game was only at 1-1 for six minutes as the home side responded superbly. Veteran Ángel Gil delivered a great whipped in cross from the right and Lanzarote´s top marksman Rosmen headed his side 2-1 up with a stunning header from eight yards.
Both teams had the opportunity to score as the half came to a close. Rosmen saw another header go inches wide of the post and the La Palma side saw a wonder effort from midfielder Rayco thunder off the bar. All looked good for Lanzarote as they headed into the break with a 2-1 advantage.
