League Play-Off

La Bombonera
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Roberto Xabat took the kick off in the first half of the match. Boca Juniors's Freddy Tercero played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mario Gergori in the 5th minute of play. 7 minutes into the match, KunDiablo's Prospero Niva sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Freddy Tercero narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 7 played minutes Boca Juniors got a freekick which was hit by Eloy Firmo. Prospero Niva sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mario Gergori fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Freddy Tercero having to interfere. Mario Gergori struck a weak shot in the 19th minute. Freddy Tercero didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for KunDiablo. After 22 played minutes Boca Juniors got a freekick which was hit by Saul Jerico. In the 23rd minute Mario Gergori shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Freddy Tercero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Oscar Sayvion sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Orlando Giro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Aurelio Caradaro came out of the goal in the 37th minute to try and stop a shot by Boca Juniors's Constantino Benitez. But to his dismay, Constantino Benitez quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. 40 minutes into the match, Prospero Niva had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Freddy Tercero. Boca Juniors's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Prospero Niva was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1.

When Roberto Xabat came up free with the goalie in the 51st minute, the Boca Juniors 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 Roberto Xabat couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in Boca Juniors's zone, Emiliano Salamon stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Freddy Tercero came out of the goal and Emiliano Salamon tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. With a little luck, Boca Juniors's Freddy Tercero got control of the ball when Mario Gergori tried to sneak it across the goal line. After having played for 62 minutes, Mario Gergori managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. KunDiablo's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mario Gergori was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 65 minutes, Constantino Benitez mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Boca Juniors and the KunDiablo players grew even worse after the yellow card. 68 minutes into the match, KunDiablo's goal looked a bit too open when Constantino Benitez came free, but Aurelio Caradaro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 75th minute, Oscar Sayvion managed to get in a good position for a shot. KunDiablo's supporters rose to their feet, but Oscar Sayvion was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Freddy Tercero breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Freddy Tercero took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Prospero Niva, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Mario Gergori in the 81st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Freddy Tercero saved Boca Juniors from getting behind. KunDiablo's Oscar Sayvion got a good chance for a goal in the 82nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a rather tough play, Boca Juniors's Raul Chuse got a free kick in the 83rd minute. 84 minutes into the match, Mario Gergori notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Boca Juniors's Freddy Tercero. Freddy Tercero was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Mario Gergoris short, quick shot in the 90thth minute got Freddy Tercero to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. 92 minutes into the match, Boca Juniors's goal looked a bit too open when Mario Gergori came free, but Freddy Tercero reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Boca Juniors's defense didn't have a chance, in the 94th minute, when Prospero Niva scored to the left of an out of position Freddy Tercero, making the score, 1-3. When the match was over KunDiablo could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Boca Juniors throughout the match.
