Tenerife B achieved their third consecutive league victory by defeating Elche Ilicitano 2-0 and keeping a clean sheet.
Tenerife B continues its winning streak in the league! They have secured their third victory in three matches, defeating Elche Ilicitano 2-0 away.
From the very beginning of the match, Tenerife B controlled the ball, but they lacked sharpness in attack in the first half. In the second half, Leandro Cabrera's team played more effectively and opened the scoring in the 70th minute. Towards the end of the match, they increased their lead, although Elche tried to improve their game.
In the first half, Tenerife B had the initiative, but they found it difficult to break through to the opponent's penalty area. Elche Ilicitano allowed Tenerife to play, but defended well and did not experience any particular problems.
The first dangerous moment came after half an hour of play when Juan Ibarra bypassed two defenders and broke into the penalty area, but the Elche goalkeeper saved his shot. There were no more clear-cut chances in the first half.
After the break, Tenerife B increased the pressure even more and began to attack more often. Loren, Ibarra, and Ulloa tried to score, but their shots were unsuccessful.
But in the middle of the second half, Mauro Costa took advantage of a mistake by an Elche defender, who made an inaccurate back pass, and accurately shot into the far corner of the goal. The score became 1-0.
After that, Elche tried to equalize, and Piri almost leveled the score with a header, but Julen cleared the ball off the line. Despite the pressure from the home side, Tenerife B held on and even scored a second goal. Marcos Marrero won a penalty in the 84th minute and converted it himself, setting the final score at 2-0.
Thanks to this victory, Tenerife B has gained the maximum number of points – 9 out of 9 possible – and has not conceded a single goal. Only Logroñés can boast such a reliable defense in their Segunda Federación group. In Group 5, where Tenerife B plays, only two teams have won all three matches: Tenerife B itself and Sanse. Tenerife B's next match will be against Conquense.
