League Play-Off

Guatica
Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, 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. Rius Andibidria started the match with the kick off. If Fertus Jaraba had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With an all-out effort, Guatica FC's Gelacio Sedillo threw himself towards the right post 8 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Rius Andibidria, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Gelacio Sedillo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Haroldo Rallo, who was totally free with the ball in the 12th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 14th minute, Ovidio Viñambre managed to get in a good position for a shot. Guatica FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Ovidio Viñambre was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gelacio Sedillo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Lamberto Rano hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. Gervaso Retortillo might have been able to make a better finish in the 22nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Elizardo Yurre. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Gervaso Retortillo ran back to his position shaking his head. 23 minutes into the game, Fertus Jaraba cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Elizardo Yurre was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Gervaso Retortillo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 27th minute. Elizardo Yurre tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Santa Fe's zone, Ovidio Viñambre stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gelacio Sedillo came out of the goal and Ovidio Viñambre tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Urdaspal Bispo could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 31st minute of the match, but Gelacio Sedillo made a huge save. After a rather tough play, Guatica FC's Xerardo Begal got a free kick in the 32nd minute. Elizardo Yurre showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Bitxintxo Munguira in the 36th minute of the match. 37 minutes into the match, Santa Fe's goalkeeper Gelacio Sedillo had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ovidio Viñambre. Santa Fe's Gelacio Sedillo proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 39th minute of the match, managed to save Santa Fe from getting a goal against them. 43 minutes into the match, Santa Fe's goal looked a bit too open when Rius Andibidria came free, but Gelacio Sedillo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Through an outstanding action, after 45 minutes, Gelacio Sedillo successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post.

Elizardo Yurre didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Santa Fe.
