Game notes and player interviews.

CD Tenerife against the leader. Real Betis scored three goals before the break to sentence the game. It was not a good game for the blue and whites who go on xmas holidays still in relegation positions and with out the chance to give the fans a boost.
CD Tenerife wanted to close the year with a victory, that would show quality, security and conviction... and the team came out well, prepared for their rivals strategy and looked for a goal. Unfortunately a bucket of cold water stopped the island lads: Emaná gscored with his left from the centre of the area. A ball which Sergio couldn't stop.
It could have been a draw with a counter attack by Natalio with a high ball. But the players from Andalicia, mostly Rubén Castro, scored again with a fantastic shot, from 40 metres. Betis made h most of their chances, left the local players with doubts and managed to finish the game before the pause when through a defense error Emaná scored.
The second half started with complications for the CDT team and they needed to make an extra effort to meke up the score. But the ball didn't seem to want to help them. Nino shot at goal and Goitia saved. Then Mikel Alonso had a chance from a corner but the ball went over the net.
The changes left fresher players on the team for Tenerife, perhaps too because the result gave Pepe Mel's players space, the blue and white players seemed to have more chances. But minutes passed and the reaction didn't come. In the last minutes CDT tried for a last honour goal whilst Betis had a couple of chances and counter attacks.
