League Play-Off

La Bombonera
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Ciriaco Caitano got the match started through his kick off. In the 3rd minute, Alfonso Etxatxu left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Valle fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. If Ciriaco Caitano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 15th minute, Osvaldo Peruanton hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rigoberto Benino came out of the goal in the 18th minute to try and stop a shot by Bosterix FC's Osvaldo Peruanton. But to his dismay, Osvaldo Peruanton quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. Gaspar Pierres's late challenge caught a Valle 's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gaspar Pierres helped the player get up and apologised. In a very dangerous position, a player in Bosterix FC fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 23rd minute. Penalty! When Gaspar Pierres was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 28 minutes had been played. 35 minutes into the match, Bosterix FC's goal looked a bit too open when Ciriaco Caitano came free, but Conrado Checa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 39 minutes into the match, Valle 's goal looked a bit too open when Clodoveo Goi came free, but Rigoberto Benino reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Conrado Checa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alfonso Etxatxu, who was totally free with the ball in the 40th minute. Bosterix FC's Conrado Checa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ciriaco Caitano in the 41st minute of play. After 46 minutes of play, Bosterix FC's Clodoveo Goi made it 2-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rigoberto Benino was left in no man's land by his defense there! Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 2-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Osvaldo Peruanton to make the kick off. Alfonso Etxatxu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.

Conrado Checa made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-4. Rigoberto Benino took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gustavo Mambru, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

After a rather tough play, Valle 's Feliberto Viator got a free kick in the 63rd minute. Conrado Checa was a little too slow when Alfonso Etxatxu got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 66th minute. The score was now 2-5. Ciriaco Caitano who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 69thth minute tested the skills of Conrado Checa when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ciriaco Caitano got free with Conrado Checa in the 72nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

Ciriaco Caitano could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 79th minute of the match, but Conrado Checa made a huge save.
