The white-and-blue squad secured an important home victory, breaking a streak of three consecutive draws. Goals from Enric Gallego and Mahamadou Balde ensured the three points against Arenas, maintaining a nine-point lead over Celta Fortuna, who had narrowed the gap the previous day.
This situation allows CD Tenerife to envision mathematical promotion to Segunda División. If Celta Fortuna loses their match next Saturday against Pontevedra in Pasarón, and CD Tenerife secures a victory against Ponferradina in El Toralín, the team from Tenerife would secure their spot in the silver category with four matchdays remaining in the regular season. Otherwise, the key date could be May 1st at the Rodríguez López against Barakaldo, or in Salamanca.
The coach opted for a lineup with changes, highlighting the starting debut of Jeremy Jorge in the League this season. Despite a challenging start where the home team struggled to create clear chances against a well-organized Arenas, persistence paid off. The first goal came in the 42nd minute, when Enric Gallego capitalized on a defensive lapse to unleash a powerful shot that found the top corner, bringing relief to the fans.
In the second half, CD Tenerife maintained the initiative. After several strategic substitutions, Balde, one of the players who came off the bench, became a key figure. Although one of his goals was disallowed for offside, his persistence was rewarded in the 81st minute when he scored the second goal after a recovery, dispelling any doubts and sealing the victory. This result leaves the team one step away from achieving their promotion goal.
