Tenerife and Andorra added an unproductive point this Saturday (0-0) in an unremarkable match in which both amply demonstrated their worrying current situations: the locals in worrying decline and the Andorrans in relegation positions.
The delicate qualifying situation of the Andorran team did not prevent its players from taking to the field with their faithful motto of taking possession and controlling the ball for as long as possible, which is why their blue and white rival barely touched it in the first ten minutes.
After the first quarter of an hour of play, the first clear scoring opportunity occurred, but Rahmani’s shot ended up in the hands of Ratti, after an excellent personal play by Luismi Cruz, giving way to a phase in which the Tenerife team . He gained greater prominence with the ball.
Enric Gallego tested Ratti again with a cross shot (m.26), but the ball went just wide, while in the opposite goal, the local goalkeeper Soriano was forced to give 100% to send corner a long shot from Karrikaburu.
With this lack of efficiency when shooting on goal, a comedy ended in the first half, only to resume the game a quarter of an hour later with an early shot on goal from outside the area by Iván Gil, forcing Soriano to deflect the ball to corner. .
In this way, with the ball moving through the center of the field, the minutes passed, without a clear dominator, and with very little clarity when it came to shooting on goal, since the few attempts went wide, like a shot from the visitor Iván . Gil (m.69), and another from the local Roberto López (m.74).
In the final stretch it was a header from Karrikaburu at the far post, from Pampin’s cross, which caused Soriano a big shock, but the goalkeeper reacted in time and sent the ball to the corner, thus preventing breaking a tie that, although not It satisfied neither of the two contenders, it did reward the limited merits of both.
