Tenerife C's reserve team climbed to within one point of their league's top spot after a resilient 3-1 comeback win against Herbania.

Tenerife C's 3-1 victory over Herbania has moved their reserve team to within just one point of the top of their league, significantly boosting their hopes for the current season. The match report noted that the home side showed great resilience, coming from behind to claim an important win. This result highlights the team's competitive spirit and their potential to challenge for promotion, which is a key goal for youth academies in Spanish football.

The game started evenly, with both teams creating few scoring opportunities. However, it was Herbania who opened the scoring midway through the first half. Aythami headed the ball into the net from an Amine cross, putting the Fuerteventura side ahead. Falling behind sparked a response from Tenerife C, who took control of the game from that moment. The equalizer came in the 35th minute when Dailo scored from a one-on-one opportunity, set up by a free-kick from the wing. Just before halftime, Jony completed the turnaround with a precise shot from the edge of the box, making it 2-1.

Tenerife C started the second half strongly. Edu extended the lead to 3-1 shortly after the restart, scoring from the edge of the box following a low pass from Padrón and a clever run from Jony. Although Herbania pushed forward in the later stages, with Tobías having a header from a set-piece, their attacking efforts left gaps at the back. Tenerife C exploited these spaces with counter-attacks, but couldn't add to their tally. Rayco García's team held firm defensively in the closing stages to comfortably secure the win.
