League Play-Off

Gastres
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Gabriel Amor kicked off to start the match. Gabriel Amor received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Manuel Romo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 16 minutes into the game, Fátima's Teodoro Goito nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ramiro Colon made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. Manuel Romo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gabriel Amor in the 22nd minute of play. With his leg Manuel Romo managed to avoid a goal in the 37thth minute, when Gastres FC's Eustacio Ferdinand fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Eustacio Ferdinand scored 1-1 in the 44th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Manuel Romo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The wind increased when Fernando Sal made the kick off in the second half. If Eustacio Ferdinand had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 50th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 54th minute the ball was on its way in behind Gastres FC's goalkeeper Ramiro Colon, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 60 minutes into the match, Fátima's goal looked a bit too open when Eustacio Ferdinand came free, but Manuel Romo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Fátima's zone, Gabriel Amor stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Manuel Romo came out of the goal and Gabriel Amor tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Silverio Astrada was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 67 minutes into the match. In the 69th minute there was a penalty for Gastres FC. Faustino Ruisko stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Manuel Romo. 2-1. Fátima's Teodoro Goito got a good chance for a goal in the 79th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Teodoro Goito received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. Ramiro Colon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Fátima were awarded a corner in the 87th minute after Gastres FC's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Melquiades Gar took the corner. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
