League Play-Off

Estadio Montañana
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Zunbeltz Carmona took the kick off in the first half of the match. Pau Abellan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Felip Cruz having to interfere. Felip Cruz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zunbeltz Carmona, who was totally free with the ball in the 4th minute. In the 6th minute Zunbeltz Carmona shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felip Cruz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Lalo Helguera had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 11 minutes into the match, Lalo Helguera had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Natal Caminero. Montañana AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Lalo Helguera was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. The audience was convinced that Zunbeltz Carmona's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Felip Cruz was relentless in the 16th minute of the game. Lalo Helguera fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Natal Caminero having to interfere. Natal Caminero made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Lalo Helguera in the 24th minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Hermelando Colillas in the 27th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Natal Caminero saved Montañana AFC from getting behind. Felip Cruz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Zunbeltz Carmona in the 31st minute of play. After 33 minutes of play, Caials's Lalo Helguera made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Natal Caminero was left in no man's land by his defense there! With a little luck, Caials's Felip Cruz got control of the ball when Pau Abellan tried to sneak it across the goal line. Cordero Bartumeu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Natal Caminero tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 41st match minute, Montañana AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Pepe Coello to maneuver through the defense. Hermelando Colillas recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 43rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 46 minutes of play, Caials's Hermelando Colillas made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Natal Caminero was left in no man's land by his defense there! Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Lalo Helguera made a kick off. Natal Caminero made a fantastic save in the 54th minute, when Cordero Bartumeu sent off a good shot on target. Hermelando Colillas's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 57thth minute, Natal Caminero skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Natal Caminero took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lalo Helguera, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 65th minute, Pepe Coello hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 66th minute Lalo Helguera shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Natal Caminero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pau Abellan in the 68th minute of play forced Caials's goalkeeper Felip Cruz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 72 minutes Montañana AFC's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Clodoveo Lermo who took care of the corner kick. The corner led Caials's Clodoveo Lermo to fire away a dangerous shot which Natal Caminero despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. In the 76th minute Zunbeltz Carmona shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felip Cruz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cordero Bartumeu did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 0-4 to the left of a surprised Natal Caminero 79 minutes into the match. Zunbeltz Carmona received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Felip Cruz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Montañana AFC booed when Caials was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 98 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mendebal Tobias didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gorri Sobrado was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 99th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Caials eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
