Mensajero Climbs to Third After Late Win Over San Miguel

Club Deportivo Mensajero has moved up to third place in the league standings after a hard-fought win against Club Deportivo San Miguel, according to local outlet El Mensajero. The victory helps the La Palma side solidify their position near the top of the table in a match defined by shifting momentum and late-game clinical finishing.

The deciding moment came in the 85th minute when Isidro chipped the ball over the goalkeeper following a pass from Vianney. Despite a desperate push for an equalizer in the closing minutes, San Miguel was unable to score, thanks to a combination of poor finishing and key saves by Mensajero goalkeeper Rafa Hidalgo.

The match was a back-and-forth battle for control. While Mensajero held more of the ball, San Miguel’s quick counterattacks posed a constant threat. Hidalgo proved vital for the hosts, stopping a one-on-one chance against Héctor, while San Miguel’s Abián hit the crossbar just before the break.

The second half followed a similar pattern: Mensajero continued to press forward, while San Miguel looked to exploit space on the break through players like John Kelly. Before the winning goal, both Alexis and David Grande had chances to break the deadlock, reflecting the home side’s persistent offensive effort.

This result is a significant boost for Mensajero, allowing them to climb the table during a crucial stage of the season where consistency is key. The win highlights the team's resilience, as they maintained their composure under pressure until they finally broke through the San Miguel defense in the final minutes.
