This is too much south in latitude to be the first stage: the first stage had a 
designated splash-down zone west of Portugal, 1000 km to the north.

So this definitely is the second stage. The total scheduled burn time of 1st + 
2nd stage was 9 minutes: with launch at 23:09 GMT all burns should have ended by 
23:18 UTC which is about the time the event seen from Lanzarotte started. So 
there is no discrepancy with the times at all.
