Highlights

▶Key

Five shots on target, five goals. Córdoba and CD Tenerife needed 26 attempts between them at Estadio Nuevo Arcángel, and the five that found the frame all ended up in the net — a 3-2 decided by accuracy, not volume.

Córdoba struck inside three minutes, Eder Garcia finishing Cristian Carracedo's assist. Tenerife had already seen Christian Gomis blocked and Enric Gallego off target; Gomis then made it 1-1 on 17, played in by Iván Chapela. Diego Percan was blocked on 20 and saved on 21 before converting Diego Bri's pass at 23 for 2-1. The rest of the half brought pressure without reward — Dani Tasende denied, Isma Ruiz's shot blocked, Diego Bri and Juanjo Sánchez off target — and the hosts went in 2-1.

Tenerife reshaped at the interval with Nacho Gil and Dani Fernández, and a third change at 57 brought Grant-Leon Ranos on. He levelled on 68, Fabricio Assis the provider. Córdoba, holding 62% of the ball, kept coming — Percan saved again on 66, Kevin Medina, on as a 67th-minute substitute, wide on 70 — and on 77 Medina's effort was blocked before Isma Ruiz struck the winner in the same minute, unassisted. Jorge Moreno's 79th-minute miss was Tenerife's last word, and Dani Martín picked the ball out of his net three times from three shots on target.

Diego Percan carried the home attack: six of Córdoba's 16 shots, more than any player on the pitch — two saved, one blocked, two off target and the 23rd-minute goal. Adnane Ghailan, for his part, sent three attempts off target. The decisive touch, though, belonged to Isma Ruiz, whose 77th-minute finish turned one point into three.

Tenerife clawed level twice and flew home with nothing; Córdoba banked the points, and a night when every hit on target counted.
