A triumph to dream of. Tenerife won in the field of another of the great candidates for promotion (a week ago it had been in Cádiz) and caresses the promotion positions. A goal by Bermejo in the second half extension time keeps the promotion options intact.
For Tenerife, the game was played in the final key. They knew in the representative that a non-victorious result was equivalent to saying goodbye to almost any option to play the promotion, even more so because when the duel began at the Mediterranean Games, Elche had already come back and won their stake in Santander (1-2) .
Baraja surprised with the preparation of the eleven, in which up to six footballers could be counted who in their day were signed as defenders. It drew attention that he gave rest to the incombustible Luis Pérez – he had played everything after the pandemic – and gave Alberto reel again. Who was not in the starting lineup was Captain Suso, already definitely ostracized.
Tenerife was clearly superior to Almería in the first 45 minutes. The planned roles were exchanged and it was the island outfit that took the lead. But with a mistake. A blunder by Aitor Sanz allowed the rojiblancos to go ahead on the scoreboard thanks to a whiplash from Darwin, who was left alone before the goalkeeper.
Even so, this time the representative did not break down, which simmered the equalizer. He was signed by a sensational Milla, who did not miss from the penalty spot (nor did he marry against Dépor). This is how Tenerife came to rest with the feeling that they could win. I was going to try it in the second half.
The resumption brought severe physical problems for the representative, but Baraja refreshed the team and the islanders arrived with one more at the extension time (a local player was expelled). There came the victory goal.
