Unión Sur Yaiza’s home stadium continues to be an impregnable fortress as the greens won the first Canarian derby of the season and enter the play-off positions.
U.S. Yaiza’s principal aim when they won promotion last summer was to survive their first season in Group 5 of Spain’s Second Federation – the highest league they have ever played in. But that season has got off to a start that has exceeded all expectations, and the southern side remain unbeaten at home and sitting pretty in fifth place.
The fourth victory of the season came against La Palma side Atlético Paso on October 13th. It was the first Canarian derby of the season in the Second Federation, and the visitors from la isla bonita brought 80 supporters to the Municipal stadium in Yaiza for a match that was played out in front of 450 spectators.
The only goal in the match came when Yaiza’s Jordan turned a corner in at the far post at the start of the second half, giving the home side a lead that they managed to hold on to with little trouble.
Yaiza began to find space on the field and create opportunities to increase the difference in the scoreline. The clearest chance came from Marco Siverio, after an excellent play by Emiliano Trovento, but the striker’s shot went just wide of the post.
Yaiza’s veteran keeper, Nauzet Pérez, managed to keep another clean sheet in front of his home fans.
In November, Yaiza face visits to Toledo, where they’ll take on CF Talavera; and San Sebastián de los Reyes in Madrid, where they’ll meet UD Sanse. At home, they’ll be hoping to keep up that unbeaten record against Cacareño, from Extremadura, and Adarve, from Madrid.
