The Ibarra prevailed forcefully in his visit to the field of Las Palmitaswhere he endorsed one little hand to the Star (0-5)that each day that passes sees how his illusions of achieving permanence in the Canarian group of Tercera RFEF vanish. Those of the Southeast, bottom, are already ten points away from salvation, which right now marks their executioner today.
The team from Gran Canaria started the game better, trying to control possession against a rival from Tenerife who, after the initial stages, turned the situation around. After a first warning from Vidal, heading a corner kick, the visiting squad managed to take the lead after ten minutes: a cross from the band fell to Merouani, who controlled in the area and beat the goalie low.
Just two minutes after making it 0-1, Rabii came close to scoring a brace with a cross shot that Gárate repelled, but Vidal was attentive to catch the rebound and thus make it 0-2. With that advantage, Ibarra played comfortably and turned off Estrella, who only managed to generate danger over the rival frame with two isolated shots from Manu Dimas that went wide.
After half an hour, the locals were recovering their best version and regained control of the ball. However, the clearest chance fell on the visiting side after a shot from Alberto, which Gárate deflected, and hit the woodwork before going off for a corner. Later, Manu Dimas tried again to close the gap by shooting high.
Local improvement, insufficient
After the break, the Sardina del Sur team put up a gear and approached the attack zone more frequently, although they ran into a solid defense that thwarted their attempts to narrow the gap. Despite the multiple local approaches, Ibarra took advantage of a counterattack, at the hour of play, to open the gap after an individual action by Rabii; This one, after getting away from his pair, gave in to Abián so that he only had to push the ball into the net.
The 0-3 made it difficult to get something positive out of Jero Santana’s team, who minutes later would receive a new blow from a free-kick that Arturo combed into the back of the net (0-4). With everything sentenced, Joni scored the final 0-5 with two minutes left to reach regulation time.
