CD Tenerife turn it on

What a joyous night of football in Santa Cruz as CD Tenerife beat much fancied Cadiz 2-0 with a superb performance full of attacking flair and solid defensive organisation in front of 13,941 fans.

The night started with a minutes silence for Antonio Puertas, the 22 year old Sevilla player who died from a heart attack last weekend. Once the whistle blew for action, Tenerife showed that they intend to play the ball around this season but a lot of their creative efforts came to nothing as they still lack a big centre forward, Arruabarrena, once fit , will fill that role.

After 36 minutes there was a great opener as Ayoze won the ball off a Cadiz player and fed Nino, who nipped in past 2 defenders and placed the ball perfectly in the net.

It got even better just after the start of the second half as Longas fed Santos who went on a run down the right wing and crossed for Ayoze to head the ball home and double the lead. The defence coped well with the few chances made by the visitors but the new look Tenerife had confidence and easily held their advantage.

This Wednesday, Poli Ejido are the visitors in the Copa del Rey, kick off 9pm, not to be missed. The Armada Sur will of course be running a coach, so get in touch.Â
