A goal from Álex Forés allowed Villarreal B to add three points against a Tenerife team weighed down by the expulsion of Ángel Rodríguez in the 34th minute and which aggravates their crisis since they have now gone six games without winning.
In the first half hour of play, Tenerife showed a greater sense of danger, although without clear chances. Ángel Rodríguez was the protagonist of the most disturbing actions of the chicharrero group. For its part, Villarreal B went from less to more and also had some arrivals through Álex Forés and Carlo Adriano.
The game changed with the expulsion of Ángel Rodríguez for a tackle on Lekovic in an attacking play by Tenerife. In this way, Asier Garitano’s team had to face an hour of match in numerical inferiority.
In this new scenario, Tenerife took a step back while Villarreal B took advantage of their advantage to have more of the ball, but did not find a way to reach Juan Soriano’s domain fluidly. The break was goalless.
After the restart, Miguel Álvarez brought on Jorge Pascual in search of greater depth in the ‘groguet’ reserve team. With more presence in attack, Tasende was about to surprise Juan Soriano with a poisoned center-shot from the left wing.
With this disposition, Villarreal B took the lead on the scoreboard with a splendid goal from Álex Forés in the 57th minute. At 1-0, the Castellón team felt more comfortable on the pitch and with less anxiety.
Asier Garitano moved the bench to bring on players with an offensive profile, but he did not manage to put Villarreal B in trouble, as they looked for the spaces their rival gave them to score. Finally, the 1-0 score was unalterable and the yellow team secured three points that allowed them to leave the relegation zone against a Tenerife in crisis after getting two points from the last eighteen.
