Lanzarote Football, Atlético Madrid B 1 Lanzarote 2

Another mighty result for U.D. Lanzarote. Last season the Rojillos were thrashed 6-0 in Madrid and were also humiliated this season suffering a 0-4 home defeat to the hands of the Rojiblancos (red and whites). Lanzarote are now top of the form table over their last eight games played, underlining their intention of avoiding relegation.atleticomadridb070210

Lanzarote got off to a flyer. The moment the Ref blew his whistle Lanzarote looked determined to go in front. After only five minutes Rúben Rodriguez whipped in one of his special left footed corner kicks and right backMoncho flicked on and new boy Carlitos stuck the ball home giving the Rojillos a shock 0-1 lead. The game plan for the home side went up in smoke as Lanzarote did not relent and were first to every tackle giving the fourth placed side no time on the ball. In the 19th minute another superb cross from Rúben Rodriguez was met by Ayoze Pérez and from the centre of the area he drilled Lanzarote into a 0-2 lead. The Rojillos battled for every ball and did not let their opposition any time to settle. The home side could only offer a long distance shot through midfielder Indiano which flew over and a strike from centre forward Perea which was comfortably dealt with by the Lanzarote keeper Vilches. The Rojillos looked good value going in for their half time cuppa with a two goal advantage.

2009-01 Lanzarote 310 2009-01 Lanzarote 394

From beyond the white cube house, the little dome of malpais, the abandoned Opuntia terraces festooned with lichens, comes the bored and hopeless barking of a poor dog chained up opposite the hilltop village. He barks all day.

From the ridge road behind him, in front of the palms and white roofs, comes the distant rush of traffic for El Mirador del Rio: a Kango hire-car, a struggling coach, a pack of cyclists - how loud they speak! I can hear them from here.

I can smell the goats too.
