League Play-Off

Estadio Tamariu
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. Oliverios Talavera started the match with the kick off. After a rather tough play, Tamariu AFC's Ponc Morientes got a free kick in the 4th minute. Israel Benito made an important save on a dangerous shot by Teodosio Rosas in the 6th minute. The supporters of Pinosol booed when Tamariu AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dantel Benedicto didn't get a good kick on the ball. Fabio Candela received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Israel Benito came out and tried to block the shot, but Fabio Candela slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 11th minute. After a rather tough play, Pinosol's Gustavo Ecija got a free kick in the 16th minute.

Teodosio Rosas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jacobo Acarreta took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Oliverios Talavera, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 26thth minute of the game Oliverios Talavera who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Tamariu AFC's Jacobo Acarreta was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Fabio Candela fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Israel Benito having to interfere. In the 34th minute, Ponc Morientes hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Romano Ortiz was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 35th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The audience was convinced that Oliverios Talavera's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jacobo Acarreta was relentless in the 37th minute of the game. After a defensive mix-up in Pinosol's zone, Fabio Candela stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Israel Benito came out of the goal and Fabio Candela tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Israel Benito showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fabio Candela, who was totally free with the ball in the 45th minute. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Fabio Candela stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 51st minute Teodosio Rosas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Israel Benito saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Teodosio Rosas struck a weak shot in the 54th minute. Israel Benito didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tamariu AFC. After 57 played minutes, Pinosol's Ceandro Coira shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Jacobo Acarreta came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Pinosol reached it. Israel Benito took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fabio Candela, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Oliverios Talavera received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Jacobo Acarreta tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 64th minute, Marco-Antonio Clos had to be helped off the field due to a pulled leg muscle. Ponc Morientes charged in rather forcefully in the 64th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ponc Morientes the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 65 played minutes Tamariu AFC got a freekick which was hit by Ponc Morientes. Pinosol's Romano Ortiz couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 66th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Tamariu AFC. Israel Benito made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Teodosio Rosas in the 69th minute of play. Teodosio Rosas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 73rd minute. Israel Benito tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 76th minute, Ceandro Coira hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 80 minutes into the match, Pinosol's goal looked a bit too open when Teodosio Rosas came free, but Israel Benito reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Marco Montes during the 80th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. If Teodosio Rosas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 90 minutes of play Pinosol's Marco Montes was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. After 91 played minutes Pinosol got a freekick which was hit by Marco Montes.
