League Play-Off

Benirredrá
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Quirce Aznar got the match started through his kick off. Honorio Bernal took the ball and in the 6 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Tonete Leal. Tonete Leal dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 14th minute, Honorio Bernal managed to get in a good position for a shot. Guadalupe AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Honorio Bernal was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tonete Leal breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Honorio Bernal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Perico Nobo charged in rather forcefully in the 20th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Perico Nobo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Guadalupe AFC getting a freekick after 20 minutes play. Perico Nobo hit a great ball. In the 23rd minute Amor Macho shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tonete Leal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Honorio Bernal might have been able to make a better finish in the 24th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tonete Leal. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Honorio Bernal ran back to his position shaking his head. Dagoberto Pantoja sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The crowd rose to their feet as Quirce Aznar kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Lekumberri Gene. That made the score 1-1 in the 30 minute of play. Frechoso Baltanas's late challenge caught a Guadalupe AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Frechoso Baltanas helped the player get up and apologised. An unexpectedly hard shot by Quirce Aznar in the 37th minute of play forced Guadalupe AFC's goalkeeper Lekumberri Gene to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 41 played minutes Guadalupe AFC got a freekick which was hit by Perico Nobo. Dagoberto Pantoja blasted a shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Lekumberri Gene having to make a save. 44 minutes into the match, Dagoberto Pantoja had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lekumberri Gene. Guadalupe AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Dagoberto Pantoja was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Amor Macho made a kick off. Beti Marin scored 2-2 in the 53rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Tonete Leal, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Honorio Bernal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 64th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tonete Leal having to interfere. Tonete Leal was out of position in the 67 minute of play, and Perico Nobo capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Perico Nobo really showed his touch with that goal: 2-3. After having played for 71 minutes, Dagoberto Pantoja managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Benirredrá AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Dagoberto Pantoja was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Federico Rienda received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Lekumberri Gene tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Dagoberto Pantoja had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Benirredrá AFC succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Guadalupe AFC had controlled the match.
