League Play-Off

Realicó
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Cayetano Alvarez kicked off to start the match. The referee felt a red card was in order, 6 minutes into the game, when Santos Romero put in a rough tackle. After 5 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Realicó! Cristobal Hats fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aquilino Ondino having to interfere. Teodoro Palos blasted a shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Aquilino Ondino having to make a save. Anselmo Liher struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Aquilino Ondino didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Realicó. If Cristobal Hats had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 46 minutes, Elias Cuartio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Realicó's supporters crossed their fingers, but Elias Cuartio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Cristobal Hats made a kick off. Aquilino Ondino showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cristobal Hats, who was totally free with the ball in the 52nd minute. Barrealito's Aquilino Ondino played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Teodoro Palos in the 53rd minute of play. Silverio Llorenc came out of the goal in the 54th minute to try and stop a shot by Barrealito's Clemente Ferdinand. But to his dismay, Clemente Ferdinand quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. After 59 minutes, Anselmo Liher mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Realicó and the Barrealito players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 59th minute, Anselmo Liher hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a little luck, Realicó's Silverio Llorenc got control of the ball when Clemente Ferdinand tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Cristobal Hats had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 67th minute Teodoro Palos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aquilino Ondino saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 68th minute, Cristobal Hats made a precise shot to the right of Aquilino Ondino. Barrealito's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. In a very dangerous position, a player in Barrealito fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 71st minute. Penalty! The referee gave Realicó a penalty, 73 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Elias Cuartio, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Barrealito's Aquilino Ondino. 2-2. In the 77th match minute, Barrealito was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mario Kimetz to maneuver through the defense. When Cristobal Hats came up free with the goalie in the 78th minute, the Realicó 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 Cristobal Hats couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cayetano Alvarez in the 88th minute of play forced Realicó's goalkeeper Silverio Llorenc to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Teodoro Palos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 91st minute, Cristobal Hats made a precise shot to the right of Aquilino Ondino. Barrealito's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-2. After a defensive mix-up in Barrealito's zone, Cristobal Hats stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Aquilino Ondino came out of the goal and Cristobal Hats tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Realicó's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
