Sabadell has only won once at the Heliodoro

The Sabadell He has only won in one of his 12 visits to Heliodoro and did so in his penultimate presence on the Island. It was almost seven years ago, when in December 2013, the Catalans thrashed by 0-3 with goals from Martí Crespi, Antonio Hidalgo –now a Harlequin coach-, and Aníbal, both from penalties. In the rest of the pairings there are seven triumphs of Tenerife and four draws with a curiosity: There is no 0-0.

The most recent visit of the Catalans It was the night of December 20, 2014 and the clash ended with a local triumph by the minimum thanks to the success of Diego Ifran shortly before the break. Carlos Ruiz and Suso Santana are the only ones who survive that encounter.

The first time the two blue and white teams met was in December 1954 and the clash ended in a 1-1 draw with a goal by Juanito for Tenerife and Maiques for Sabadell. That same result was achieved in the next match, almost 18 years later. It was in September 1978 when the Tenerife people were finally able to beat the Catalan team: 1-0 thanks to Pepito's success near the end.

Then came the 2-0 of the 74/75 season and a 2-1 of the 77/78 season until Sabadell added two other equalities: first by 1-1 and later by 2-2 both in 1985. It is also noteworthy on February 3-1, 1989 thanks to goals from Amaral, a penalty, Víctor and Rommel. At the end of that course, Benito Joanet's men were promoted to First.

Worth highlighting two games that were played in Copa del Rey, with insular joy: in January 1986 won 1-0 with a goal from Brazilian Paulo Roberto and the other was in October 1991 with a 5-0 win with a hattrick from Pier and a double from Juan Antonio Pizzi.
