League Play-Off

Sopelana Estadio
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jon Guerrero took the kick off in the first half of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jon Guerrero in the 3rd minute of play forced Sopelana's goalkeeper Cordarell Casanova to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 5 minutes into the match, Sopelana's goal looked a bit too open when Zosimo Albizua came free, but Cordarell Casanova reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Hori Losada sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 9th minute Hori Losada shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Adelio Tarin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Sopelana's Arnau Manrique in 11 game minutes managed to cut through with the ball in front of the goal, only having to shoot. Adelio Tarin guarding the goal like a pit bull was extremely focused and managed to reach the ball just by the crossbar before it went in. 13 minutes had been played when some careless play by Gundibos's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Dalmai Zapater was slow to take the kick. During this time Sopelana's players had a chance to rest. Juan Abrego succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 15th playminute. Sopelana's Arnau Manrique was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 20th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. In the 24th minute, Zunbeltz Urbina hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Adelio Tarin made a fantastic save in the 33rd minute, when Arnau Manrique sent off a good shot on target. When Jon Guerrero came up free with the goalie in the 36th minute, the Gundibos 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 Jon Guerrero couldn't finish the play. 37 minutes into the match, Sopelana's goal looked a bit too open when Xesus Ucero came free, but Cordarell Casanova reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Juan Abrego fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Adelio Tarin having to interfere. In the 40th minute, Dalmai Zapater 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. Zunbeltz Urbina struck a weak shot in the 42nd minute. Cordarell Casanova didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gundibos. Adelio Tarin made a fantastic save in the 43rd minute, when Arnau Manrique sent off a good shot on target. Adelio Tarin came out of the goal in the 48th minute to try and stop a shot by Sopelana's Arnau Manrique. But to his dismay, Arnau Manrique quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-0. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 4-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Dalmai Zapater made the kick off in the second half. Sopelana's Arnau Manrique got a good chance for a goal in the 54th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Xesus Ucero's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Cordarell Casanova firmly grabbed it by the left post. 59 minutes into the match, Arnau Manrique notched a goal, 5-0, to the right of Gundibos's Adelio Tarin. Adelio Tarin was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Hori Losada had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After having played for 64 minutes, Juan Abrego managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sopelana's supporters crossed their fingers, but Juan Abrego 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 67th minute Jon Guerrero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cordarell Casanova saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 70 minutes into the game, Sopelana's Dalmai Zapater nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Adelio Tarin made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 6-0. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Hori Losada in the 74th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Adelio Tarin saved Gundibos from getting behind. Gundibos's Adelio Tarin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Arnau Manrique in the 75th minute of play. In the 78th minute Dalmai Zapater shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Adelio Tarin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Through an outstanding action, after 83 minutes, Cordarell Casanova successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. In the 84th minute Xesus Ucero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cordarell Casanova saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Xesus Ucero could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 88th minute of the match, but Cordarell Casanova made a huge save. Adelio Tarin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Juan Abrego, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Juan Abrego sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Sopelana's Juan Abrego in the 93rd minute got a chance for a shot 93rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Gundibos's goalie prevented a goal. In the 94th minute of the match Dino Carballeira shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Adelio Tarin showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 95th minute of the match, Zosimo Albizua tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Cordarell Casanova saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. 97 minutes into the match, Juan Abrego notched a goal, 7-0, to the right of Gundibos's Adelio Tarin. Adelio Tarin was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Sopelana fully deserved thier win.
