UD Ibarra defeated Arucas CF (2-0) this weekend in premiere of Diego Maradona Sinagra, son of ‘Pelusa’as coach of the Tenerife team, although the Italian-Argentine did not sit on the bench and watched the game from the stands of the Villa Isabel Municipal Stadium, in Las Galletas (southern Tenerife).
The local team won with goals from their captain, Arturo Elías, in the 29th minute, and from Rabii, in the 59th, to a rival that remained unbeaten in group 12 of the Third Divisionand continues to lead the standings despite this first defeat, which may have been more severe because of the many opportunities the Tenerife team had, against an opponent who had scored only one goal in the previous seven games.
The presence of Maradona Jr. has raised expectations among fans, and In the stands you can see the T-shirts of the Argentine team worn by the fansas well as others from teams like Boca Juniors or Newell’s Old Boys, where the late Diego Armando Maradona played.
With this victory, Ibarra moved up four steps in the classification, to tenth place in the eighteen-team competitionalthough it only has a two-point margin in the relegation zone.
