League Play-Off

Villa Sol
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Cirino Carballeira started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd match minute, Villa Sol was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Peli Esperta to maneuver through the defense. When Peli Esperta fell near the penalty area in the 5th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Villa Sol's protests and gave Peli Esperta a yellow card for diving instead. After 6 played minutes, Clube Esportivo Saudade's Baraxil Pascua shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ioseba Montes came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Clube Esportivo Saudade reached it. Ioseba Montes showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cirino Carballeira, who was totally free with the ball in the 8th minute. If Cirino Carballeira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Marciano Caballero's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ioseba Montes was relentless in the 17th minute of the game. In the 23rd minute Cirino Carballeira shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ioseba Montes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Lonzo Tormes lost his temper 29 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In the 29th minute, one of Villa Sol:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Villa Sol. Marciano Caballero scored 0-2 in the 34th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ioseba Montes, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 38 minutes into the match, Clube Esportivo Saudade's goalkeeper Natalio Casas had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gorka Feliu. After a defensive mix-up in Clube Esportivo Saudade's zone, Gorka Feliu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Natalio Casas came out of the goal and Gorka Feliu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Cirino Carballeira fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ioseba Montes having to interfere. Marciano Caballero received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Ioseba Montes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Gorka Feliu was the one to do the kick off. After 56 played minutes Villa Sol got a freekick which was hit by Peli Esperta. Clube Esportivo Saudade's Baraxil Pascua couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 57th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Villa Sol. In the 59th minute, Villa Sol's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Marciano Caballero fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. If Marciano Caballero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 69thth minute of the game Cirino Carballeira who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Villa Sol's Ioseba Montes was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Peli Esperta recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 71st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 72nd minute of the match, Cirino Carballeira tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Ioseba Montes saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Marciano Caballero who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 75thth minute tested the skills of Ioseba Montes when he managed to save the team from getting behind. If Marciano Caballero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Marciano Caballero in the 92nd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Ioseba Montes prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Marciano Caballero fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ioseba Montes having to interfere. Clube Esportivo Saudade played a much better game than Villa Sol and deserved their victory. The Villa Sol players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
