That’s how you finish a season.
Full stadium… promotion already confirmed… and still a proper performance.
Before Kick-Off
The job was technically done before a ball was kicked.
News came through that Celta Fortuna had lost…
Which meant Tenerife were champions.
The stadium knew it… and you could feel it.
First Half… Not a Walkover
Despite the celebrations, Tenerife didn’t ease off.
- Early chances from Noel López and Fabricio
- Barakaldo settled and had their moments
- A couple of real chances at both ends
Not one-sided… just tense.
The Breakthrough
Second half, 49th minute…
Quick counter, perfectly timed pass…
Enric Gallego does the rest.
⚽ 1–0
Seventeenth goal of the season… and probably the most important.
Sealing It
Barakaldo pushed… fair play to them.
But Tenerife hit again when it mattered:
- Loose ball in the box
- Maikel Mesa reacts first
⚽ 2–0 (81’)
That’s game over.
What It Means
- Champions
- Back to Segunda División
- First promotion celebrated at home since 1987
That last part… that’s the one people will remember.
After the Final Whistle
No one rushed off.
The night carried on in Plaza de España…
Blue and white everywhere.
One of those evenings that sticks.
