League Play-Off

Corao
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Alanzo Abasalo kicked off to start the match. If Alanzo Abasalo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gaitano Paz kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. After 10 played minutes, Eltzaburu FC's Mariano Herrero shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Millán Rua 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 Eltzaburu FC reached it. In the 11th minute, Josu Cuevas hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Modesto Alfaro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Millán Rua tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 23 minutes, Salomon Zafrilla managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Corao SD's supporters crossed their fingers, but Salomon Zafrilla was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Gorosti Velazquez's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Hugo Iglesias read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 37th minute of play. With a little luck, Eltzaburu FC's Hugo Iglesias got control of the ball when Gorosti Velazquez tried to sneak it across the goal line. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Salomon Zafrilla to make the kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Eltzaburu FC's Alanzo Abasalo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Millán Rua narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When Eltzaburu FC's Alanzo Abasalo in 53 game minutes managed to cut through with the ball in front of the goal, only having to shoot. Millán Rua guarding the goal like a pit bull was extremely focused and managed to reach the ball just by the crossbar before it went in. Angel De Pablo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Hugo Iglesias tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 66th minute, Modesto Alfaro 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. 71 minutes into the game, Modesto Alfaro was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Eltzaburu FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Corao SD the free kick. Modesto Alfaro kicked well hit freekick during the 71st minute of the match. In the 72nd minute, Luis Izquierdo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Corao SD were awarded a corner in the 75th minute after Eltzaburu FC's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Gaitano Paz took the corner. A well-hit corner resulted in Hugo Guerrero heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. Modesto Alfaro struck a weak shot in the 78th minute. Millán Rua didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Eltzaburu FC. Millán Rua made a fantastic save in the 80th minute, when Boni Zabalo sent off a good shot on target. A collision led to Corao SD getting a freekick after 84 minutes play. Angel De Pablo hit a great ball. Angel De Pablo's late challenge caught a Eltzaburu FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Angel De Pablo helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Corao SD getting a freekick after 86 minutes play. Angel De Pablo hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 93rd minute, Alanzo Abasalo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Eltzaburu FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Alanzo Abasalo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Millán Rua breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Modesto Alfaro could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 94th minute of the match, but Millán Rua made a huge save. 96 minutes into the match, Eltzaburu FC's goal looked a bit too open when Gorosti Velazquez came free, but Hugo Iglesias reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
