League Play-Off

La Zarza
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. Chepe Candamil started the match with the kick off. 7 minutes into the match, Chepe Candamil notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of La Zarza SD's Hanni Pardo. Hanni Pardo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 11 minutes into the match, RC Deportivo A Coruña's goal looked a bit too open when Balesio Ocaña came free, but Bertol Dorado reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 14th minute, Balesio Ocaña ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Bertol Dorado was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. Balesio Ocaña fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bertol Dorado having to interfere. Hanni Pardo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Chepe Candamil, who was totally free with the ball in the 20th minute. Onofre Titos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Hanni Pardo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Onofre Titos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Balesio Ocaña came up free with the goalie in the 33rd minute, the La Zarza SD 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 Balesio Ocaña couldn't finish the play. 2-1 became the score in the 36th minute when Chap Cartagena elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Chap Cartagena received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Bertol Dorado tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Joaquin Ramos hit a great freekick 41 minutes into the match. Chap Cartagena sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The supporters of La Zarza SD booed when RC Deportivo A Coruña was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 48 match minutes in a wonderful position. Esteban Santos didn't get a good kick on the ball. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-1.

Bertol Dorado took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Chap Cartagena, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Onofre Titos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Hanni Pardo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Chepe Candamil recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 60th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The supporters of RC Deportivo A Coruña booed when La Zarza SD was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 64 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cordeiro Velasco didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 66th minute the ball was on its way in behind La Zarza SD's goalkeeper Hanni Pardo, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Hanni Pardo was out of position in the 69 minute of play, and Joaquin Ramos capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Joaquin Ramos really showed his touch with that goal: 2-2. Bertol Dorado showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Balesio Ocaña, who was totally free with the ball in the 73rd minute. After 76 minutes, Michael Camino mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the La Zarza SD and the RC Deportivo A Coruña players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 76th minute, Michael Camino hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A hard shot 77 in the game by Onofre Titos from a close distance when the talented Hanni Pardo managed to make a qualified save. La Zarza SD's players were relieved. Michael Camino was shown his second yellow card after 78 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. In the 87th minute, Joaquin Ramos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 91st minute Chap Cartagena shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bertol Dorado saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Esteban Santos hit a great freekick 92 minutes into the match. 94 minutes into the match, La Zarza SD's Eskuin Santos sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Bertol Dorado narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Chap Cartagena in the 96th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Bertol Dorado prevented the ball from getting in the gole.
