League Play-Off

Las Palmas de Gran C
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Xarles Ibanez got the match started through his kick off. In the 3rd minute, Marihuana C.F.'s Duardo Aznar seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Duardo Aznar the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Marihuana C.F. protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Duardo Aznar had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Goyo Unzueta sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The audience was convinced that Esdras Pedriza's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gitano Abril was relentless in the 10th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Goyo Unzueta in the 12th minute of play forced Marihuana C.F.'s goalkeeper Gitano Abril to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gitano Abril showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Esdras Pedriza, who was totally free with the ball in the 16th minute. Gaspar Borrás fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aloisio Villar having to interfere. David Diaz took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 23rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Gitano Abril. Marihuana C.F.'s goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After having played for 25 minutes, Goyo Unzueta managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Siguenza CF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Goyo Unzueta was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Gitano Abril took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Esdras Pedriza, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Goyo Unzueta blasted a shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Gitano Abril having to make a save. In the 31st minute Goyo Unzueta shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gitano Abril saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Marihuana C.F.'s Lesardo Santander couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 34th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Siguenza CF. 39 minutes into the match, Marihuana C.F.'s goal looked a bit too open when Goyo Unzueta came free, but Gitano Abril reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Marihuana C.F.'s Gitano Abril played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Goyo Unzueta in the 42nd minute of play. Sigfrido Ruiz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Aloisio Villar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Esdras Pedriza stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Diagur Sarrate struck a weak shot in the 53rd minute. Gitano Abril didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Siguenza CF. Goyo Unzueta's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Gitano Abril read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 54th minute of play. Esdras Pedriza fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gitano Abril having to interfere. In the 59th match minute, Marihuana C.F. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gorka Harroyo to maneuver through the defense. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Esdras Pedriza in the 60th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Gitano Abril saved Marihuana C.F. from getting behind. If Gaspar Borrás had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Marihuana C.F. booed when Siguenza CF was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 66 match minutes in a wonderful position. David Diaz didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gaspar Borrás's late challenge caught a Siguenza CF's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

The Siguenza CF fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-3. Gitano Abril was out of position in the 79 minute of play, and Esdras Pedriza capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Esdras Pedriza really showed his touch with that goal: 0-4. 93 minutes into the match, Marihuana C.F.'s Lesardo Santander broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. In the 96th minute, Goyo Unzueta 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. The Marihuana C.F. fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Siguenza CF were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
