League Play-Off

Estadio Chamaicó
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jonatan Galo took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 6 minutes, Higinio Firmin mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Chamaicó and the Ramblones players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 6 played minutes Chamaicó got a freekick which was hit by Higinio Firmin. In the 8th minute, Jonatan Galo got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adrian Hernando in the 9th minute of play forced Chamaicó's goalkeeper Ignacio Bermund to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ramblones's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Dalmacio Botello in the 11th minute. Ramblones's Dalmacio Botello was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Ignacio Bermund in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Aurelio Cordarrol fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Daniel Ekain having to interfere. If Adrian Hernando had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ezequiel Cordarryl in the 22nd minute of play forced Ramblones's goalkeeper Daniel Ekain to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Aurelio Cordarrol had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ezequiel Cordarryl in the 25th minute of play forced Ramblones's goalkeeper Daniel Ekain to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 28 minutes of play, Chamaicó's Aurelio Cordarrol made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Daniel Ekain was left in no man's land by his defense there! Aurelio Cordarrol received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Daniel Ekain tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Daniel Ekain made an important save on a dangerous shot by Aurelio Cordarrol in the 34th minute. With a little luck, Ramblones's Daniel Ekain got control of the ball when Aurelio Cordarrol tried to sneak it across the goal line. After having played for 46 minutes, Adrian Hernando managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ramblones's supporters crossed their fingers, but Adrian Hernando was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ezequiel Cordarryl stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After 51 played minutes Ramblones got a freekick which was hit by Luciano Quinten. 2-0 came in the 53rd minute when Eusebio Piearres all by himself managed to get straight through the defense and place the ball into the net to the right of Daniel Ekain. Adrian Hernandos short, quick shot in the 57thth minute got Ignacio Bermund to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. 60 minutes into the match, Ezequiel Cordarryl had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Daniel Ekain. Ramblones's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ezequiel Cordarryl was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. Jonatan Galo was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 65th minute. Ramblones's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 67th minute, Jonatan Galo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ramblones's supporters rose to their feet, but Jonatan Galo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ignacio Bermund breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Daniel Ekain made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Aurelio Cordarrol in the 73rd minute of play. 78 minutes into the match, Ramblones's goal looked a bit too open when Ezequiel Cordarryl came free, but Daniel Ekain reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Daniel Ekain showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ezequiel Cordarryl, who was totally free with the ball in the 86th minute. 88 minutes into the match, Chamaicó's Eusebio Piearres broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Aurelio Cordarrol received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Daniel Ekain tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Chamaicó had played much better football throughout.
