League Play-Off

Tutapunta
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Etxeberri Abeijon started the match with the kick off. Tutapunta's Boniel Cullar played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Etxeberri Abeijon in the 3rd minute of play. Enrico Rugama who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 7thth minute tested the skills of Gaudencio Abello when he managed to save the team from getting behind. In the 11th minute Etxeberri Abeijon shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Boniel Cullar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 12 minutes into the match, Tutapunta's goal looked a bit too open when Milian Abalos came free, but Boniel Cullar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Enrico Rugama had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 23 minutes, Etxeberri Abeijon managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Comunicaciones's supporters crossed their fingers, but Etxeberri Abeijon was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Etxeberri Abeijon came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Comunicaciones fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Etxeberri Abeijon couldn't finish the play. In the 33rd minute, Raimundo Abellaneda hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Onbera Cerio took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 34th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Gaudencio Abello. Comunicaciones's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Enrico Rugama fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gaudencio Abello having to interfere. 47 minutes into the match, Comunicaciones's goalkeeper Gaudencio Abello had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Enrico Rugama. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Stephen Bonilla to make the kick off. Enrico Rugama fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gaudencio Abello having to interfere. Gaudencio Abello showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Enrico Rugama, who was totally free with the ball in the 60th minute. Nicodemo Simancas charged in rather forcefully in the 67th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Nicodemo Simancas the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Comunicaciones booed when Tutapunta was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nicodemo Simancas didn't get a good kick on the ball. Milian Abalos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 74 minutes into the match, Comunicaciones's goal looked a bit too open when Stephen Bonilla came free, but Gaudencio Abello reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Etxeberri Abeijon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Boniel Cullar having to interfere. Onbera Cerio kicked well hit freekick during the 80th minute of the match. Salomone Feyjo lost his temper 83 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In the 83rd minute, one of Tutapunta:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Tutapunta. The goalkeeper, Boniel Cullar, was totally fooled by Comunicaciones's Senio Abadia, who 86 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. In the 94th minute, Stephen Bonilla got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Tutapunta had played much better football throughout.
