Tenerife 1 - 1 Real Sociedad

The victory Real Sociedad were looking for to climb the table never materialised this afternoon in the Heliodoro Stage Rodriguez Lopez as both teams scored in the last 4 minutes of the game to draw 1-1. The Real Sociedad players paid tribute to Iñigo Diaz de Cerio before the game by carrying t-shirts of support for their injured team-mate.

Tenerife looked the more dangerous in the first half with Real Sociedad looking to hit them on the counter-attack. Necti Ates and Aranburu combined well at times and Moha was lively but Tenerife pressured the Real Sociedad rearguard time after time. In the second half it was Tenerife again who looked more likely to score and Bravo pulled off a fantastic save before Rivas made a goal line clearance. Coach Lilo made two changes with on loan Marcos replacing Moha (66 mins) and Agirretxe repacing Sergio in the hope they could provide a new attacking dimention. Kome and Nino went close again for Tenerife and with the game heading for a draw, Real Sociedad hearts were broken when the former Espanyol full back Marc Beltrán gave the hosts the lead in the 86th minute after dribbling past two defenders to leave Bravo in goal helpless. When it seemed Tenerife would be getting all three points, Real Sociedad pulled off a miracle when in the 3rd minute of injury time, a corner was headed in by central defender Labaka much to the relief of the travelling support. With that the referee blew for full-time and under the circumstances it will have to be looked on as a point gained rather than two lost.
