League Play-Off

Estadio Pirámide
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. Leonides Urbasa started the match with the kick off. 5 minutes into the match, Tasquín FC's goal looked a bit too open when Delmar Lartaun came free, but Wilfredo Flor reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Tasquín FC's zone, Delmar Lartaun stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Wilfredo Flor came out of the goal and Delmar Lartaun tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Julio Abeita had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 17 minutes into the match, Pirámide FC's Julio Abeita sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Wilfredo Flor narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Jaime Shantala sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Leonides Urbasa took the ball and in the 32 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jesus Ixaka. Jesus Ixaka dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. After having played for 42 minutes, Jaime Shantala managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tasquín FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jaime Shantala was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Delmar Lartaun to strike the kick off in the second half. 57 minutes into the match, Jaime Shantala had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jesus Ixaka. Pirámide FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Jaime Shantala was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. Leonides Urbasa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Zacarias Tome fell near the penalty area in the 63rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Pirámide FC's protests and gave Zacarias Tome a yellow card for diving instead. Zacarias Tome hit a great freekick 63 minutes into the match. 70 minutes into the match, Pirámide FC's goalkeeper Jesus Ixaka had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jaime Shantala. Jesus Ixaka didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jaime Shantala went, in the 72nd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-4 was the resulting score. In the 85th minute the ball was on its way in behind Pirámide FC's goalkeeper Jesus Ixaka, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Jesus Ixaka took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Leonides Urbasa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 88 minutes, Delmar Lartaun managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pirámide FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Delmar Lartaun was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Wilfredo Flor showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Delmar Lartaun, who was totally free with the ball in the 90th minute. The Tasquín FC supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Tasquín FC would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
