Tenerife's Dominance Denied as Dux Logroño Snatch Late Point
CD Tenerife were left to rue missed opportunities as Dux Logroño escaped the Canary Islands with a hard-fought 1-1 draw on Sunday. The hosts controlled proceedings from start to finish at Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López, dominating the ball with 60.2% possession and peppering the visitors' goal with 15 shots, yet had to settle for a single point after Paula Rubio's late equalizer.
The home side made their early pressure count in the 12th minute when Natalia Ramos broke the deadlock, rewarding Tenerife's aggressive start. The goal seemed to validate their territorial dominance, but Dux Logroño's defensive resolve and clinical finishing would prove decisive. The visitors absorbed wave after wave of attacks before Rubio struck against the run of play in the 77th minute, silencing the home crowd with a crucial away goal.
CD Tenerife launched 15 attempts at goal compared to Dux Logroño's meager four, yet couldn't translate that superiority into victory. The visitors' goalkeeper stood firm when called upon, making three vital saves to preserve the point. Tenerife also won all five corners in the match, consistently threatening from set pieces, but found the final ball lacking. The frustration boiled over at times, with Fatou Dembele receiving a yellow card in the 41st minute, while Dux Logroño's Sandra Perera was booked early in the second half.
By the numbers, this was a tale of dominance unrewarded. CD Tenerife's 60.2% possession and 15 shots—four on target—dwarfed Dux Logroño's output of just one shot on target from four attempts. The visitors committed nine fouls to Tenerife's seven, forced to disrupt the hosts' rhythm through physical play.
CD Tenerife will need to sharpen their finishing as they look to convert territorial control into three points in their next outing, while Dux Logroño will take confidence from their defensive resilience and clinical counter-attacking on the road.
