League Play-Off

Estadio Garayalde
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. Gaston Gasteiz started the match with the kick off. Amadeo Adrio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Luis Sidoro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Gaston Gasteiz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When Simon Grabiel fell near the penalty area in the 14th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Garayalde's protests and gave Simon Grabiel a yellow card for diving instead. The referee gave Colola AFC a penalty, 16 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Fernando Iratzeder, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Garayalde's Candido Gonzales. 0-1. Gaston Gasteiz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Luis Sidoro having to interfere. When Alejo Isadore came up free with the goalie in the 25th minute, the Colola AFC 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 Alejo Isadore couldn't finish the play. Hector Txordon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Candido Gonzales having to interfere. Gaston Gasteiz was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 31st minute. Garayalde's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. After having played for 33 minutes, Gaston Gasteiz managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Garayalde's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gaston Gasteiz was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Amadeo Adrio recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 35th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Amadeo Adrio could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 38th minute of the match, but Luis Sidoro made a huge save. 42 minutes into the match, Hector Txordon notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Garayalde's Candido Gonzales. Candido Gonzales was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The Garayalde players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Colola AFC were winning 0-2.

If Hector Txordon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 56th minute, Lucas Che managed to get in a good position for a shot. Colola AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Lucas Che was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Candido Gonzales breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Alejo Isadore who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 60thth minute tested the skills of Candido Gonzales when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Gaston Gasteiz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ernesto Etor hit a great freekick 66 minutes into the match. Amadeo Adrio struck a weak shot in the 69th minute. Luis Sidoro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Garayalde. Candido Gonzales didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 73rd minute, which inside left pole to 0-3. An unexpectedly hard shot by Amadeo Adrio in the 84th minute of play forced Colola AFC's goalkeeper Luis Sidoro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Amadeo Adrio's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Luis Sidoro read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 86th minute of play. Luis Sidoro showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gaston Gasteiz, who was totally free with the ball in the 88th minute.
