League Play-Off

Zizurkil
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Alanzo Pacheco took the kick off in the first half of the match. A collision led to Zizurkil getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Alfredo Medina hit a great ball. Alanzo Pacheco might have been able to make a better finish in the 13th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Sabin Cabanela. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Alanzo Pacheco ran back to his position shaking his head. Simon Soldado took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ximeno Jimenez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Alfredo Medina hit a great freekick 28 minutes into the match. In the 31st minute Ximeno Jimenez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Simon Soldado saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 31 played minutes Zizurkil got a freekick which was hit by Alfredo Medina. Ximeno Jimenez fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Simon Soldado having to interfere. Sabin Cabanela came out of the goal in the 40th minute to try and stop a shot by Zizurkil's Benvide Lacorte. But to his dismay, Benvide Lacorte quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-0. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Cordero Puig to strike the kick off in the second half. Alfredo Medina kicked well hit freekick during the 53rd minute of the match. Puentelarra AD's Ximeno Jimenez got a good chance for a goal in the 54th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Benvide Lacorte had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cordero Puig sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 72nd minute, Ximeno Jimenez managed to get in a good position for a shot. Puentelarra AD's supporters rose to their feet, but Ximeno Jimenez was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Simon Soldado breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 76th minute, Ximeno Jimenez made a precise shot to the right of Simon Soldado. Zizurkil's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-1. After 82 played minutes Zizurkil got a freekick which was hit by Alfredo Medina. An unexpectedly hard shot by Benvide Lacorte in the 85th minute of play forced Puentelarra AD's goalkeeper Sabin Cabanela to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a little luck, Zizurkil's Simon Soldado got control of the ball when Ximeno Jimenez tried to sneak it across the goal line. Puentelarra AD's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
