Beginning a New Run Of Luck?

While CD Tenerife didn't win last night's cup match against Real Madrid, they held them off valiantly before 18,389 spectators until "Solari stamped Real Madrid´s passport to the Copa del Rey (1-2) in the last minute of extra time."

1-2: Style, sweat and Solari stamp their passport

CD Tenerife president, Víctor Pérez Ascanio, is reported as saying, "If we play like that every weekend we will always be in the top three positions" [in the league table].

But the real victory for the Tenerife club is that takings from the match amounted to €600,000, with which they can "bring people up-to-date" - I am sure this refers to outstanding wages - pay the tax man and deal with an embargo.

Pérez Ascanio: "La recaudación en el partido de Copa fue de 100 millones de pesetas"

That ought to do plenty to improve morale and could indeed hail the beginning of a new run of luck for the side.
