League Play-Off

Estadio Yataity
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. Frechoso Fidalgo started the match with the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 6th minute, Gelmiro Ledo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Yataity AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Gelmiro Ledo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bilintx Murias breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. A collision led to Yataity AFC getting a freekick after 9 minutes play. Txilar Berrondo hit a great ball. The audience was convinced that Rafel Mar's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Romeo Riguera was relentless in the 11th minute of the game. When Lander Toraño fell near the penalty area in the 11th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Yataity AFC's protests and gave Lander Toraño a yellow card for diving instead. If Frechoso Fidalgo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Garcete's Bilintx Murias proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 17th minute of the match, managed to save Garcete from getting a goal against them. Thanks to some nice moves Gelmiro Ledo could shoot a difficult shot in the 19th minute, which Bilintx Murias however easily saved by the left post. 20 minutes into the game, Garcete's Rafel Mar nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Romeo Riguera made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. Adrian Bayllo charged in rather forcefully in the 34th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Adrian Bayllo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 38th minute, Yataity AFC's Gelmiro Ledo dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-1. Zuriko Mestanza charged in rather forcefully in the 45th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

In the 47th match minute, Yataity AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Lalo Ondovilla to maneuver through the defense. Romeo Riguera didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Zosimo Atienza went, in the 50th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. The Yataity AFC players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Garcete were winning 1-2.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Zosimo Atienza stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, Garcete's Larra Estrada got a free kick in the 63rd minute. Felix Velastegui took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 64th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Bilintx Murias. Garcete's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 66 minutes into the match, Gelmiro Ledo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Bilintx Murias. Garcete's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Gelmiro Ledo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Frechoso Fidalgo in the 70th minute of play forced Garcete's goalkeeper Bilintx Murias to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 73rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Garcete's goalkeeper Bilintx Murias, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Yataity AFC's zone, Rafel Mar stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Romeo Riguera came out of the goal and Rafel Mar tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Romeo Riguera showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zosimo Atienza, who was totally free with the ball in the 77th minute. Zosimo Atienza received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Romeo Riguera tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bilintx Murias took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Frechoso Fidalgo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 83 minutes into the match, Garcete's goal looked a bit too open when Frechoso Fidalgo came free, but Bilintx Murias reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Larra Estrada hit a great freekick 85 minutes into the match. If Frechoso Fidalgo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Frechoso Fidalgo struck a weak shot in the 95th minute. Bilintx Murias didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Yataity AFC. Frechoso Fidalgo might have been able to make a better finish in the 98th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bilintx Murias. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Frechoso Fidalgo ran back to his position shaking his head. Gelmiro Ledo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 99th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 101st minute, Larra Estrada hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Frechoso Fidalgo blasted a shot towards the goal in the 102nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Bilintx Murias having to make a save.
