League Play-Off

Montiel
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. Xacobo Clemente started the match with the kick off. Martín Garrido received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Milian Carceles tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Mané Rienda had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Joel Ortega sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 14 minutes into the match, Mané Rienda had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Hurko Ramiréz. Fals's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mané Rienda was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. A hard shot 19 in the game by Xacobo Clemente from a close distance when the talented Hurko Ramiréz managed to make a qualified save. Fals's players were relieved. In the 21st minute of the match Illan Ucero shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Hurko Ramiréz showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. The Fals fans' excitement grew in the 24th match minute when Fals's Joel Ortega 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 1-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After a rather tough play, Fals's Iosu Sancho got a free kick in the 28th minute. After having played for 30 minutes, Xacobo Clemente managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Montiel's supporters crossed their fingers, but Xacobo Clemente was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Iyan Canyelles's late challenge caught a Montiel's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Iyan Canyelles helped the player get up and apologised. In the 36th minute, Mané Rienda got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Hurko Ramiréz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Xacobo Clemente, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 40th minute, Xacobo Clemente fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Hurko Ramiréz, passed just outside the right post. Hurko Ramiréz made a fantastic save in the 44th minute, when Peio Companys sent off a good shot on target. If Xurxo Infante had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Joel Ortega to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute of the match Fals got a corner. Montiel's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Nabar Nobo ran over to the corner to take the kick. After taking down the ball on Fals's corner Nabar Nobo fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Milian Carceles quite easily take care of the ball. Mané Rienda fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hurko Ramiréz having to interfere. In the 63rd minute, Xurxo Infante hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Hurko Ramiréz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mané Rienda, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 71 minutes into the game, Xacobo Clemente cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Hurko Ramiréz was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Hurko Ramiréz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mané Rienda in the 75th minute of play. Xurxo Infante was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 81st minute. Fals's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 89 minutes into the match, Montiel's goal looked a bit too open when Joel Ortega came free, but Milian Carceles reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 90th match minute, Montiel was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Peio Companys to maneuver through the defense. In the 93rd minute, Mané Rienda ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Hurko Ramiréz was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. Montiel's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
