League Play-Off

Napostá
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ambrosio Iraido took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Rubén Paz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 4th match minute, Elordi was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Blas Bela to maneuver through the defense. If Sakis Souanis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 7th minute, Sakis Souanis managed to get in a good position for a shot. Napostá's supporters rose to their feet, but Sakis Souanis was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Apolo Kemen breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Napostá's Wit Lepucki got a good chance for a goal in the 10th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Lucas Olo struck a weak shot in the 14th minute. Apolo Kemen didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Napostá. After a defensive mix-up in Elordi's zone, Sakis Souanis stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Apolo Kemen came out of the goal and Sakis Souanis tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, Elordi's Leon Quintin got a free kick in the 16th minute. After some careless play in the Elordi defense, Rubén Paz kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Apolo Kemen. The Elordi fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Apolo Kemen should have stopped the shot. If Rubén Paz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Apolo Kemen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Wit Lepucki, who was totally free with the ball in the 39th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Wit Lepucki in the 43rd minute of play forced Elordi's goalkeeper Apolo Kemen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Apolo Kemen made a fantastic save in the 44th minute, when Rubén Paz sent off a good shot on target. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Rubén Paz stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Cipriano Harkaitz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ambrosio Iraido, who was totally free with the ball in the 53rd minute. 54 minutes into the match, Rubén Paz notched a goal, 2-0, to the right of Elordi's Apolo Kemen. Apolo Kemen was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Napostá's Wit Lepucki got a good chance for a goal in the 57th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Wit Lepucki sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Wit Lepucki might have been able to make a better finish in the 64th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Apolo Kemen. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Wit Lepucki ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 65th minute, Rubén Paz made a precise shot to the right of Apolo Kemen. Elordi's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-0. 69 minutes into the match, Napostá's Lucas Olo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Apolo Kemen narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 72nd minute Napostá were awarded a corner. Esteve Gasteiz went to the cornerflag to take it. The corner led Napostá's Esteve Gasteiz to fire away a dangerous shot which Apolo Kemen despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Esteve Gasteiz blasted a shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Apolo Kemen having to make a save. Rubén Paz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. Apolo Kemen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Elordi's Natalio Elia got a free kick in the 80th minute. Rubén Paz spun around in front of the goal 81 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Elordi's goal. When Ambrosio Iraido came up free with the goalie in the 88th minute, the Elordi 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 Ambrosio Iraido couldn't finish the play. After 89 minutes of play, Napostá's Rubén Paz made it 5-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Apolo Kemen was left in no man's land by his defense there! 94 minutes into the game, Ivan Jacindo cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 5-1. Cipriano Harkaitz was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a rather tough play, Napostá's Wit Lepucki got a free kick in the 97th minute.
