League Play-Off

Estadio Recoleta
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, 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. Bruno Rencio started the match with the kick off. Pascual Ibon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. German Gudesteo didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Bruno Rencio went, in the 9th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. If Celestino Policarpio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. A hard shot 24 in the game by Celestino Policarpio from a close distance when the talented Virgilio Osoitz managed to make a qualified save. Nazca's players were relieved. Virgilio Osoitz was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 26th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Camilo Tiso. An unexpectedly hard shot by Matias Loi in the 30th minute of play forced Violetas's goalkeeper German Gudesteo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some careless play in the Violetas defense, Bruno Rencio kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of German Gudesteo. The Violetas fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that German Gudesteo should have stopped the shot. After 37 minutes, Matias Loi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Nazca and the Violetas players grew even worse after the yellow card. Matias Loi hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. 40 minutes into the game, Celestino Policarpio cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-2. Virgilio Osoitz was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After 45 played minutes Violetas got a freekick which was hit by Placido Jago. In the 46th minute of the match Guido Cristofol shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but German Gudesteo showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After a rather tough play, Nazca's Gogo Casado got a free kick in the 47th minute. The first half was very even, with the score at 2-2 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Celestino Policarpio to make the kick off. Celestino Policarpio blasted a shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Virgilio Osoitz having to make a save. When Matias Loi was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 60 minutes had been played. In the 60th minute, Matias Loi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Romulo Libertad fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Virgilio Osoitz having to interfere. A collision led to Nazca getting a freekick after 64 minutes play. Bruno Rencio hit a great ball. Celestino Policarpio struck a weak shot in the 68th minute. Virgilio Osoitz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Violetas. Pascual Ibon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Virgilio Osoitz having to interfere. After recieving a nice pass, Nazca's Guido Cristofol tried to score from far away in the 74th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. If Godofredo Alvarez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 81 minutes of play, Violetas's Celestino Policarpio made it 3-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Virgilio Osoitz was left in no man's land by his defense there! Violetas's Pascual Ibon got a good chance for a goal in the 84th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 86 minutes into the match, Godofredo Alvarez notched a goal, 3-3, to the right of Violetas's German Gudesteo. German Gudesteo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Herminio Ferdinand kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. The supporters of Nazca booed when Violetas was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 94 match minutes in a wonderful position. Herminio Ferdinand didn't get a good kick on the ball. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Nazca eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
