League Play-Off

Turrillas
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Isandro Buendia started the match with the kick off. Ted De la Rosa charged in rather forcefully in the 6th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ted De la Rosa the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Ted De la Rosa kicked well hit freekick during the 7th minute of the match. Mino Alacuart stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Juan Moreira's shot from short distance in the 8th minute. If Laurgain Ortiz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 20th minute, Isandro Buendia reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Ariel Casillas. The goal made the score 1-0. Ariel Casillas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Isandro Buendia in the 25th minute of play. Airas Quintas could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 26th minute of the match, but Ariel Casillas made a huge save. When Airas Quintas came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the Turrillas FC 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 Airas Quintas couldn't finish the play. Abejundio Antunez fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mino Alacuart having to interfere. When Ted De la Rosa was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 44 minutes had been played. 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.

Gorri Planes hit a great freekick 51 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Airas Quintas in the 56th minute of play forced Palleja C.F.'s goalkeeper Ariel Casillas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Mino Alacuart took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Laurgain Ortiz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 63 minutes into the match, Oliviero Azofra had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ariel Casillas. Palleja C.F.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Oliviero Azofra was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. Raymond Benedicto kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. Juan Moreira blasted a shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Mino Alacuart having to make a save. After some fancy dribbling in the 75th minute, Airas Quintas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Turrillas FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Airas Quintas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ariel Casillas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 79th minute, Laurgain Ortiz fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Mino Alacuart, passed just outside the right post. Through an outstanding action, after 83 minutes, Mino Alacuart successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. The nice shot from Juan Moreira in the 84thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Mino Alacuart had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. Airas Quintas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 90th minute. Ariel Casillas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Juan Moreira's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mino Alacuart read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 92nd minute of play. Palleja C.F.'s players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
