League Play-Off

Vicente Tangorra
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, 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. Modesto Frasquito started the match with the kick off. Javier James made in the 4th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Hernan Oriche immediately put the ball in play. Esteban Aresti recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 5th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Freddy Medero didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Delmar Todor went, in the 7th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Thanks to some nice moves Ladislao Diagur could shoot a difficult shot in the 11th minute, which Siro Miro however easily saved by the left post. In the 16th minute Angelo Eriz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Freddy Medero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match had gone on for 18 minutes, Angelo Eriz put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of Freddy Medero. An unexpectedly hard shot by Angelo Eriz in the 21st minute of play forced Democracia y Golf Pampa's goalkeeper Freddy Medero to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 23rd minute, Constantino Corderro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 30th minute Delmar Todor shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Freddy Medero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 31 played minutes Democracia y Golf Pampa got a freekick which was hit by Constantino Corderro. Lemoncetto's Siro Miro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cirilo George in the 38th minute of play. Siro Miro was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Esteban Aresti showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-3 in the 39 minute of play. The audience was convinced that Angelo Eriz's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Freddy Medero was relentless in the 44th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Delmar Todor in the 45th minute of play forced Democracia y Golf Pampa's goalkeeper Freddy Medero to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 47th minute, Angelo Eriz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Freddy Medero was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-4. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-4 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Esteban Aresti made the kick off in the second half. Freddy Medero showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Angelo Eriz, who was totally free with the ball in the 54th minute. Delmar Todor fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Freddy Medero having to interfere. A collision led to Democracia y Golf Pampa getting a freekick after 60 minutes play. Constantino Corderro hit a great ball. If Anier Dabi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lemoncetto's Delmar Socorro managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Honorio Ihazintu in the 67 minute of the game. Ladislao Diagur hit a great freekick 68 minutes into the match. In the 70th minute Anier Dabi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Siro Miro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Cirilo George had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Freddy Medero made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Angelo Eriz in the 76th minute of play. Cirilo George 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. After 84 minutes, Cirilo George mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Democracia y Golf Pampa and the Lemoncetto players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Democracia y Golf Pampa's Cirilo George got a free kick in the 84th minute. When Angelo Eriz came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the Lemoncetto 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 Angelo Eriz couldn't finish the play. The audience was convinced that Angelo Eriz's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Freddy Medero was relentless in the 89th minute of the game. Freddy Medero made an important save on a dangerous shot by Delmar Todor in the 90th minute. In the 96th minute Angelo Eriz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Freddy Medero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the final whistle sounded Lemoncetto left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Democracia y Golf Pampa.
