League Play-Off

Corolina
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. Cristo Quinito started the match with the kick off. If Filiberto Mendiko had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Filiberto Mendiko blasted a shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Braulio Quilo having to make a save. The audience thought a goal was coming when Domingos Herena got free with Braulio Quilo in the 7th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Desiderio Estefan charged in rather forcefully in the 8th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Desiderio Estefan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Chapelco FC's Desiderio Estefan got a free kick in the 9th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 11th minute, Domingos Herena managed to get in a good position for a shot. Corolina AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Domingos Herena was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Braulio Quilo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 13 minutes into the match, Corolina AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Abel Bladi came free, but Federico Ted reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 14 minutes into the game, Danilo Madeo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Corolina AFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Chapelco FC the free kick. Cristo Quinito hit a great freekick 15 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Abel Bladi in the 17th minute of play forced Corolina AFC's goalkeeper Federico Ted to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Delmar Gaxan hit a great freekick 22 minutes into the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Filiberto Mendiko in the 25th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Braulio Quilo saved Chapelco FC from getting behind. Pedro Bernebe kicked well hit freekick during the 27th minute of the match. The supporters of Chapelco FC booed when Corolina AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 32 match minutes in a wonderful position. Arsenio Cerilo didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Pedro Bernebe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

In the 54th minute, Cristo Quinito 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. Filiberto Mendiko received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Braulio Quilo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 59 played minutes Chapelco FC got a freekick which was hit by Desiderio Estefan. Filiberto Mendiko struck a weak shot in the 63rd minute. Braulio Quilo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Corolina AFC. Chapelco FC's Braulio Quilo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Filiberto Mendiko in the 66th minute of play. Corolina AFC's Federico Ted proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 70th minute of the match, managed to save Corolina AFC from getting a goal against them. Domingos Herena might have been able to make a better finish in the 73rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Braulio Quilo. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Domingos Herena ran back to his position shaking his head. Braulio Quilo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Filiberto Mendiko, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Filiberto Mendiko sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a little luck, Corolina AFC's Federico Ted got control of the ball when Abel Bladi tried to sneak it across the goal line. Cristo Quinito recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 83rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 86th minute, Braulio Odol hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Through an outstanding action, after 88 minutes, Federico Ted successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. When Danilo Madeo was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 88 minutes had been played.

Cristo Quinito sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
