League Play-Off

Sondika
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Aris Milonas made the kick off which started today's match. In the 2nd minute, Anatolio Castelao hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tirso Rey came out of the goal in the 6th minute to try and stop a shot by Sevilla's Rencio Portillo. But to his dismay, Rencio Portillo quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. If Anatolio Castelao had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Josias Griego fell near the penalty area in the 12th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Sondika FC's protests and gave Josias Griego a yellow card for diving instead. Josias Griego hit a great freekick 12 minutes into the match. 15 minutes into the match, Garibaldo Canturri notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Sondika FC's Tirso Rey. Tirso Rey was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a defensive mix-up in Sondika FC's zone, Rencio Portillo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Tirso Rey came out of the goal and Rencio Portillo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 24th minute, Garibaldo Canturri ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Tirso Rey was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-3. Sondika FC's Tirso Rey played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nicolao Montaña in the 26th minute of play. After 31 played minutes Sondika FC got a freekick which was hit by Nacho Morales. After some fancy dribbling in the 32nd minute, Erlantz Veloso managed to get in a good position for a shot. Sevilla's supporters rose to their feet, but Erlantz Veloso was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tirso Rey breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The supporters of Sevilla booed when Sondika FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 39 match minutes in a wonderful position. Anatolio Castelao didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 46 played minutes Sevilla got a freekick which was hit by Orlando Gomar. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-4 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Nicolao Montaña to make the kick off. In the 62nd minute, Aris Milonas 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. Louis Buenafuente's late challenge caught a Sevilla's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Louis Buenafuente helped the player get up and apologised. After 64 played minutes Sondika FC got a freekick which was hit by Louis Buenafuente. Olo Cuervas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Aris Milonas in the 66th minute of play. Garibaldo Canturri could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 74th minute of the match, but Tirso Rey made a huge save. Tirso Rey was out of position in the 76 minute of play, and Rencio Portillo capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Rencio Portillo really showed his touch with that goal: 0-5. A collision led to Sondika FC getting a freekick after 88 minutes play. Josias Griego hit a great ball. Nacho Morales kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. After having played for 93 minutes, Anatolio Castelao managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sondika FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Anatolio Castelao was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 94th minute Aris Milonas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Olo Cuervas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the final whistle sounded Sevilla left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Sondika FC.
