Lanzarote, Anaza play to 1‑1 draw in Tercera División RFEF

SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE (Interstat) — Anaza and Lanzarote played to a 1-1 draw Wednesday in Tercera División RFEF play, leaving both sides with matching records in the competition and across all competitions. Lanzarote took the lead in the 36th minute through Alvaro Cordero, and Anaza answered with an equalizer in the 82nd minute. Neither side found a winner after the late goal, and the result stood after the final whistle.

Cordero was on the field for the full 90 minutes and scored the opening goal. His 36th-minute finish gave Lanzarote a first-half advantage and was the only goal before halftime. Anaza, playing at home, trailed for much of the second half but stayed within reach. The home side pushed for an equalizer and got it with eight minutes remaining in regulation. The late goal forced Lanzarote to protect the draw in the closing stages, and Anaza could not produce a second goal.

The draw extends a frustrating run for Anaza, which remained winless in the competition. Anaza’s competition record is now two losses and two draws, and its overall record is the same. Before the match, Anaza had drawn at Villaverde Norte, lost at home to San Miguel and lost at Panaderia. The home side’s next match is against San Bartolome at Anaza in Tercera División RFEF. Anaza will look to turn its late equalizer into a building block after another match without a victory.

Lanzarote’s competition record moved to one win, two losses and two draws, matching its overall record. Lanzarote entered the match after a loss at Los Llanos, a home loss to San Fernando, a win at Las Palmas C and a home draw with San Bartolome. The visitors could not turn their first-half lead into a second goal, and Anaza’s late response left Lanzarote with a draw. Lanzarote’s overall mark also stands at one win, two losses and two draws, so the draw did not change the balance between competition and overall play.

Both teams had chances in the closing stages, but neither goalkeeper was beaten again. Anaza’s equalizer changed the shape of the final minutes and forced Lanzarote to defend with urgency. Lanzarote still leaves with a result on the road, while Anaza takes a draw from a match in which it had trailed. The outcome keeps both teams in similar positions in their competition records, with Lanzarote holding one win and Anaza still seeking its first.

Anaza’s search for a first win continues after another tight result. The home side has now drawn two and lost two in the competition, and its overall mark mirrors that line. Lanzarote, meanwhile, has one win, two losses and two draws in the competition and overall. The visitors’ first-half goal from Cordero was enough to earn a share of the result, but not enough to secure a victory.

The match followed a pattern familiar to both sides this season, with Lanzarote unable to build on an early lead and Anaza unable to turn a late equalizer into a winner. Lanzarote had the advantage at halftime after Cordero’s goal, but Anaza’s response in the 82nd minute leveled the match. The final minutes produced no further scoring, and the teams settled for the draw.

Lanzarote’s road result adds to a season that has included a win, two losses and two draws across all competitions. Anaza remains without a win in the competition and overall, with two losses and two draws in each. Both sides will carry their competition records into their next fixtures, with Anaza preparing to host San Bartolome and Lanzarote looking to build on a road draw.
