League Play-Off

El Molar
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Lorencio Santalla took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Leocadio Lopez de Toro came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the Sierra CD fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Leocadio Lopez de Toro couldn't finish the play. Bernat Cameno recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 5th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Marcelo Quintanilla could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 11th minute of the match, but Clodoveo Valdés made a huge save. After having played for 14 minutes, Leocadio Lopez de Toro managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sierra CD's supporters crossed their fingers, but Leocadio Lopez de Toro was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Clodoveo Valdés made a fantastic save in the 16th minute, when Marcelo Quintanilla sent off a good shot on target. Neron Vuelta made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Leocadio Lopez de Toro in the 18th minute of play. After 22 minutes of play, Sierra CD's Bernat Cameno made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Neron Vuelta was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 25th minute Bernat Cameno shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Neron Vuelta saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Lorencio Santalla had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 27th match minute, Sierra CD was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Domenico Figueres to maneuver through the defense. In the 33rd minute, Fidel Acedo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Clodoveo Valdés made an important save on a dangerous shot by Marcelo Quintanilla in the 43rd minute. Marcelo Quintanilla struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Clodoveo Valdés didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for El Molar.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Leocadio Lopez de Toro made a kick off. If Bernat Cameno had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 58 minutes into the game, Leocadio Lopez de Toro recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Neron Vuelta. Leocadio Lopez de Toro showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-2. When Izar Saboya fell near the penalty area in the 61st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Sierra CD's protests and gave Izar Saboya a yellow card for diving instead. Izar Saboya hit a great freekick 61 minutes into the match. After 64 minutes, Manuel Duran mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the El Molar and the Sierra CD players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to El Molar getting a freekick after 64 minutes play. Manuel Duran hit a great ball. El Molar's Neron Vuelta proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 66th minute of the match, managed to save El Molar from getting a goal against them. Lorencio Santalla fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Clodoveo Valdés having to interfere. Clodoveo Valdés took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lorencio Santalla, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 77 minutes into the match, El Molar's goal looked a bit too open when Leocadio Lopez de Toro came free, but Neron Vuelta reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Lorencio Santalla scored 1-2 in the 83rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Clodoveo Valdés, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The Sierra CD players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
