League Play-Off

Sant Joan Del Pas Es
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. Xurxo Cordoba started the match with the kick off. If Silverio Velasco had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in San Juan A.D.'s zone, Silverio Velasco stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gualterio Alcaraz came out of the goal and Silverio Velasco tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 12 minutes into the match, Daniel Soldado notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of San Juan A.D.'s Gualterio Alcaraz. Gualterio Alcaraz was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Gualterio Alcaraz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Xurxo Cordoba, who was totally free with the ball in the 17th minute. In the 24th minute, Xurxo Cordoba ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Gualterio Alcaraz was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. Ramón De Silva's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Constantino Casals read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 28th minute of play. Horcajada De La Torre SAD's Constantino Casals played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ramón De Silva in the 34th minute of play. Ramón De Silva sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 39 minutes into the game, Tello Fabelo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Horcajada De La Torre SAD's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave San Juan A.D. the free kick. After a rather tough play, Horcajada De La Torre SAD's Tello Fabelo got a free kick in the 39th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 44th minute, Etxeberri Vallejo managed to get in a good position for a shot. San Juan A.D.'s supporters rose to their feet, but Etxeberri Vallejo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Constantino Casals breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Ramón De Silva made the kick off in the second half. Gualterio Alcaraz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Xurxo Cordoba in the 52nd minute of the match. Xurxo Cordoba received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Gualterio Alcaraz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

In the 73rd minute, Xurxo Cordoba 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.

After 92 minutes San Juan A.D.'s defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Dubardo Saura who took care of the corner kick. Dubardo Saura made a great header on Horcajada De La Torre SAD's corner, it was just that San Juan A.D.'s Gualterio Alcaraz managed to reach the ball for a save. Horcajada De La Torre SAD's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
