Second win of the season brings the points to 10

It may not have been an elegant game but three points are three points.

 CD Tenerife managed this Sunday their second victory this season. They beat AD Alcorcon 1-0. The goal was scored by Nino at the start of the second half. This goal serves to bring the team up to nine points. Mandía's group worked hard for this win.

CD Tenerife, in need of the points went out in the only way they could, from the beginning in search of a goal. This aggressive style of play permitted the team to break with the negativity that has hung around them like a cloak and beat AD Alcorcon. Chances were there from the beginning. Nino had a chance after the fifth minute then Ricardo centred a ball which Prieto headed towards the goal in the tenth minute. The players from Madrid also had their chances including a shot by Rubén Sanz, which Melli blocked with his chest (14’).

CD Tenerife, continued to try and were constantly dangerous from midfield towards the goal. Natalio, had a hard shot and the ball hit the post in the twenty sixth minute, in a play that deserved to be a goal. Mandía's boys were working hard. 

After the break, from a corner,  Sergio Mora, managed to find a ball that had escaped Sergio Aragoneses, but that too hit the post. CD Tenerife needed that push and the fans came through with their support the game moved up to a new level. Nino scored with a pass from Ricardo.(52’): 1-0.

Risking everything Juan Antonio Anquela, who didn't want to leave the island with nothing moved from defensive play to attacking in search of a draw. Borjacentred a ball in the area, with his head over Sergio but it hit the post.  CD Tenerife were left defending, trying to stop the visitors from equalizing.

The final minutes were infinite suffering for CD Tenerife. The lads from Madrid tightened their game in search of a goal. Mandía's eleven couldn't find their style of play or a second goal to sentence the game. Finally after tremendous suffering the win was whistled and the three points stayed in Tenerife.
