League Play-Off

Estadio Petorca
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ubaldo Matildo Camilo kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, Petorca's Omar Lyon got a free kick in the 3rd minute. Xavi Zavaleta recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 8th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Regino Chopitea's late challenge caught a Petorca's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Regino Chopitea helped the player get up and apologised. Regino Chopitea hit a great freekick 22 minutes into the match. 23 minutes into the match, Petorca's Xavi Zavaleta sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Saturnín Duguid narrowly saved just below the crossbar. It seemed to be an obvious goal in the 25th minute, but Saturnín Duguid got his fingers on the ball or the save, leaving Maravilla FC hanging dry this time. 31 minutes into the match, Maravilla FC's goalkeeper Saturnín Duguid had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Giancarlo Zegarra. Xavi Zavaleta fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Saturnín Duguid having to interfere. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Giancarlo Zegarra received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 54th minute. Saturnín Duguid tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 57 played minutes Maravilla FC got a freekick which was hit by Loreto Gazitúa. 58 minutes into the game, Xavi Zavaleta cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Saturnín Duguid was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Xavier Viveros hit a great freekick 75 minutes into the match. After recieving a nice pass, Maravilla FC's Cristofer Ehijo tried to score from far away in the 76th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Lucero Swett could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 78th minute of the match, but Pol Martel made a huge save. After 84 minutes, Román Villarreal mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Petorca and the Maravilla FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Cristofer Ehijo was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 85th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. If Regino Chopitea had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lucero Swett received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Pol Martel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Petorca fans cheered their team off the field, for while Maravilla FC had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
