Marino Unleash Attacking Flair to Rout Telde 4-0, Signal Intent in Tercera División RFEF Group 12

On a wind-swept afternoon at Estadio Antonio Domínguez Alfonso, Marino delivered a compelling statement of intent, overwhelming Telde 4-0 and vaulting themselves into the top half of a crowded Tercera División RFEF Group 12 midtable. For a side that had stumbled through a pair of defeats in the previous fortnight, Sunday’s display was as reassuring as it was ruthless—a reminder that momentum can turn quickly in a division defined by fine margins.

The narrative of Marino’s resurgence began to write itself scarcely ten minutes after the opening whistle. With the contest still taking shape, Marino’s pressing bore fruit: an incisive move down the left unlocked Telde’s defense, culminating in a clinical finish that set the tone for what was to follow. The early goal provided Marino with a cushion and confidence that had been elusive in recent matches.

If the opening exchanges hinted at Marino’s intent, the second half offered emphatic confirmation. After a spell in which Telde—winless in their last six—briefly threatened to level terms, Marino’s control became total as the match entered its final third.

Then came the match’s defining burst: a devastating pair of goals in the 73rd minute. Capitalizing on Telde’s defensive disarray, Marino exploited the flanks, carving through for a well-crafted goal before striking again almost instantly as Telde reeled from the first blow. The rapid-fire double left little doubt as to the day’s outcome and underscored the gulf in quality between the sides.

By the time Marino added a fourth—on the cusp of full time, punctuating a sweeping counterattack—the hosts had all but erased memories of their recent frustrations. Each of the four goals reflected distinct aspects of Marino’s approach: early intent, second-half discipline, seizing moments of chaos, and, finally, the ability to finish a wounded opponent with clinical authority.

For the visitors, the afternoon could scarcely have been grimmer. Telde, rooted to the foot of Group 12 and still searching for their first win of the season, began brightly but quickly found themselves unpicked and outpaced. Any initial composure dissipated after the first goal, replaced by a reactive posture that rarely threatened the Marino goal and left their own defense exposed repeatedly. The lack of attacking invention—so evident in their run of scoreless draws and defeats—again proved costly.

Neither side saw red, and the match’s physical edge never boiled over, but the psychological toll on Telde was plain to see in the waning stages. The final whistle offered a merciful end to a contest that, by the second half, resembled a drill more than a duel.

Context matters, and in the context of the group table, Marino’s emphatic victory is transformative. They climb to ninth place with nine points from six matches—a record now balanced at three wins and three losses. The result ends Marino’s two-match slide and, more importantly, places them firmly in the chasing pack.

Telde’s plight, conversely, worsens. Anchored at the bottom with just two points from six outings, their campaign has been characterized by attacking frailty and defensive lapses. Not since their last meeting with Marino—a close-run contest in the prior campaign—have they looked less able to summon a defiant response.

What separates Marino from the division’s true contenders remains consistency. Their five most recent results—two wins, three losses, including last week’s narrow defeat at Lanzarote—paint the picture of a team searching for rhythm but possessing real attacking promise. Today, that promise was realized. If they are to mount a genuine push for promotion, sustaining this level across the coming weeks will be non-negotiable.

For Telde, the search for answers now turns urgent. Still winless, their resolve and cohesion will be sorely tested as they seek to avoid being cut adrift. With fixtures looming against fellow strugglers, every match now carries a weight far beyond the early stakes of autumn.

The two clubs, once closer rivals in this regional group, now find themselves on diverging paths. Marino, emboldened by victory, look to recalibrate their ambitions upward. Telde, mired in difficulties, must regroup quickly or risk letting this campaign slip irreversibly away.

On a day when composure and cutting edge were in ample supply for the hosts, Marino’s faithful left Estadio Antonio Domínguez Alfonso with both relief and anticipation—the sense that, perhaps, the season’s defining storylines are only just beginning to unfold.
