League Play-Off

Estadio Smith
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, 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. Inocencio Bertran started the match with the kick off. Escriña's Inocencio Bertran got a good chance for a goal in the 7th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Furkan Sağbilge received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Oscar Firme tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. A collision led to Escriña getting a freekick after 9 minutes play. Israel Inautzi hit a great ball. Fausto Gonsalve took the ball and in the 19 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mario Gamus. Mario Gamus dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. 22 minutes into the game, Basilio Hibai threw the ball into play from the sideline. Smith AFC's Florencio Bieito quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Furkan Sağbilge's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 22ndth minute, Oscar Firme skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. In the 26th minute, Florencio Bieito hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Fausto Gonsalve had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mario Gamus showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Israel Inautzi, who was totally free with the ball in the 32nd minute. Smith AFC's Furkan Sağbilge was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 40th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. Furkan Sağbilge's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 44thth minute, Oscar Firme skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Furkan Sağbilge who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 46thth minute tested the skills of Oscar Firme when he managed to save the team from getting behind. If Justo Gorka had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Furkan Sağbilge to strike the kick off in the second half. Oscar Firme didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Furkan Sağbilge went, in the 54th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-1 was the resulting score. Justo Gorka struck a weak shot in the 62nd minute. Oscar Firme didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Smith AFC. Furkan Sağbilge sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Escriña's Oscar Firme played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Florencio Bieito in the 67th minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Furkan Sağbilge in the 68th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Oscar Firme saved Escriña from getting behind. Smith AFC's Mario Gamus proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 71st minute of the match, managed to save Smith AFC from getting a goal against them. After some fancy dribbling in the 80th minute, Florencio Bieito managed to get in a good position for a shot. Smith AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Florencio Bieito was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Oscar Firme breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Furkan Sağbilge hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. With a little luck, Smith AFC's Mario Gamus got control of the ball when Fausto Gonsalve tried to sneak it across the goal line. Oscar Firme came out of the goal in the 87th minute to try and stop a shot by Smith AFC's Justo Gorka. But to his dismay, Justo Gorka quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-2. The Smith AFC fans' excitement grew in the 93rd match minute when Smith AFC's Furkan Sağbilge looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 4-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Smith AFC had played much better football throughout.
