League Play-Off

Estadio Rosario
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Santiago Omero started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Rosario's goal looked a bit too open when Bernardino Betadur came free, but Epifanio Olando reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 7th minute, Santiago Omero made a precise shot to the right of Epifanio Olando. Rosario's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. When Celestino Frantzes came up free with the goalie in the 11th minute, the La M FC 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 Celestino Frantzes couldn't finish the play. Epifanio Olando didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Celestino Frantzes went, in the 13th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Niceto Garoa in the 16th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Octavio Haitz saved La M FC from getting behind. 18 minutes into the match, Rosario's Camilo Aballe sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Octavio Haitz narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 20 played minutes Rosario got a freekick which was hit by Celedonio Tabby. 0-3 became the score in the 22nd minute when Santiago Omero elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Epifanio Olando came out of the goal in the 25th minute to try and stop a shot by La M FC's Santiago Omero. But to his dismay, Santiago Omero quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-4. Celestino Frantzes received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Epifanio Olando tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 30th minute, Bernardino Betadur hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Celestino Frantzes blasted a shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Epifanio Olando having to make a save. Santiago Omero scored 0-5 in the 35th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Epifanio Olando, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Celestino Frantzes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Epifanio Olando having to interfere. 46 minutes into the match, Celestino Frantzes notched a goal, 0-6, to the right of Rosario's Epifanio Olando. Epifanio Olando was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Disappointed in the 0-6 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Niceto Garoa to make the kick off. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Santiago Omero in the 57th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Epifanio Olando prevented the ball from getting in the gole. La M FC's Bernardino Betadur got his second yellow card of the match in the 58th minute. The referee ordered Bernardino Betadur off the ground. When La M FC's Santiago Omero in the 65th minute got a chance for a shot 65th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Rosario's goalie prevented a goal. The crowd rose to their feet as Santiago Omero kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Epifanio Olando. That made the score 0-7 in the 67 minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Santiago Omero managed to get in a good position for a shot. La M FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Santiago Omero was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Epifanio Olando breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Paulino Peruanton had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Roman Aureo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Santiago Omero scored 0-9 in the 85th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Epifanio Olando, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Rosario's Epifanio Olando played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Santiago Omero in the 91st minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in La M FC's zone, Niceto Garoa stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Octavio Haitz came out of the goal and Niceto Garoa tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The Rosario fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. La M FC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
