League Play-Off

Pumas Stadium
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Amerigo Travaglini started the match with the kick off. Dennis Piccoli charged in rather forcefully in the 6th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Dennis Piccoli the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Voghenza FC getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Dennis Piccoli hit a great ball. Los Pumas's Filippo Violento played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alfonso Quercia in the 9th minute of play. Arturo Gualtieri took the ball and in the 11 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Filippo Violento. Filippo Violento dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Filippo Violento took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ennio Romagnoli, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience thought a goal was coming when Amerigo Travaglini got free with Alfredo Mori in the 18th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Corrado Tellini had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some careless play in the Los Pumas defense, Arturo Gualtieri kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Filippo Violento. The Los Pumas fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Filippo Violento should have stopped the shot. In the 26th minute of the match, Amerigo Travaglini tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Alfredo Mori saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Corrado Tellini fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Filippo Violento having to interfere. After having played for 41 minutes, Amerigo Travaglini managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Los Pumas's supporters crossed their fingers, but Amerigo Travaglini was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Alfredo Mori made an important save on a dangerous shot by Amerigo Travaglini in the 44th minute. Arturo Gualtieri might have been able to make a better finish in the 47th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Filippo Violento. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Arturo Gualtieri ran back to his position shaking his head. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

The wind increased when Corrado Tellini made the kick off in the second half. Concetto Barbanti kicked well hit freekick during the 53rd minute of the match. Alfonso Quercia fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Filippo Violento having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ettore Manzi got free with Filippo Violento in the 61st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Flavio Minicucci had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 71st minute Amerigo Travaglini shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alfredo Mori saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Emilio Iannucci came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Los Pumas 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 Emilio Iannucci couldn't finish the play. Amerigo Travaglini kicked well hit freekick during the 78th minute of the match. After 80 played minutes Voghenza FC got a freekick which was hit by Ettore Manzi. Filippo Violento made a fantastic save in the 92nd minute, when Arturo Gualtieri sent off a good shot on target. After 95 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Los Pumas! When the match had been going on for 97 minutes, Voghenza FC's Ettore Manzi got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Filippo Violento. When the final whistle sounded Voghenza FC left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Los Pumas.
