Oli made only one change to the team that outplayed Vecindario last week, with Jonathan Sesma adding pace to the attack in place of Medina. Although Tenerife started quite well, Cadiz soon started to regain possession, and like last week the emphasis seemed to be on retaining the ball and waiting for Lobos, Sergio and Miguel Garcia to carve out an opening. For the first twenty minutes or so the visitors looked comfortable, but midway through the first half Lobos turned too quickly, and his knee appeared to twist as his studs stuck in the turf. Medina stripped off and came on to join De Paula up front, with Sesma dropping deeper. The forced change affected the away sides rhythm, and Tenerife enjoyed more of the play. They nearly opened the scoring with a superb left footed freekick by Ricardo from 35 yards, but Armando produced a top class save when diverting the ball onto the post. Surprisingly it kicked Cadiz back into life, and before half time they had some decent chances – a Garcia cross almost got deflected in at the near post, Sesma superbly set up Medina who’s shot was well saved by Bernado, and then Sesma’s fierce shot flew inches wide.

 

The second half started with Cadiz again on top, but struggling to find a goal. Medina looked to be the main threat, and twice he went close when shooting well after good first touches, the second from a very tight angle down the right flank. Oli brought on starlet Acuna for De Paula in the hope that the youngster would find the single goal that would probably be enough to win the contest. The goal came in the 76th minute. Raul Lopez launched a long throw towards the penalty spot, and when the defence could only head the bouncing ball away from Acuna and to the edge of the box, Canary Islander, Jonathan Sesma was on hand to despatch a fine first time volley from the edge of the box into the back of the net. Oli brought on Fleurquin for Sergio to help with the increasing aerial battle, but there was one last scare before the game was safe, when Ricardo’s 35 yard volley from a cleared corner was well tipped over by Armando.

Next up is Murcia’s visit to the Carranza, where they will be hoping to be the first team to score and take points off of Los Amarillos.
