League Play-Off

Estadio Chillar
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Anselmo Vachon got the match started through his kick off. The supporters of Recoleta booed when Chillar AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mauricio Petrigai didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 4th minute the ball was on its way in behind Chillar AFC's goalkeeper Maximiliano Quilo, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Chillar AFC's zone, Omar Asier stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Maximiliano Quilo came out of the goal and Omar Asier tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 16th minute Omar Asier shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Maximiliano Quilo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Anselmo Vachon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 21st minute. Jaime Caradaro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The attack was good, but when Omar Asier in the 23rd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Maximiliano Quilo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Damian Nayely, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. Geronimo Kusko sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Damian Nayely had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 37thth minute of the game Carmelo Mundo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Chillar AFC's Maximiliano Quilo was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Geronimo Kusko hit a great freekick 41 minutes into the match. After having played for 42 minutes, Damian Nayely managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Recoleta's supporters crossed their fingers, but Damian Nayely was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 44 minutes into the match, Chillar AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Omar Asier came free, but Maximiliano Quilo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Omar Asier had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

The wind increased when Omar Asier made the kick off in the second half. Omar Asier did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 0-1 to the left of a surprised Maximiliano Quilo 54 minutes into the match. Damian Nayely struck a weak shot in the 59th minute. Maximiliano Quilo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Recoleta. In the 65th minute Anselmo Vachon shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jaime Caradaro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 69 minutes, German Bidun mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Chillar AFC and the Recoleta players grew even worse after the yellow card. 70 minutes into the match, Chillar AFC's goalkeeper Maximiliano Quilo had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Damian Nayely. Chillar AFC's Maximiliano Quilo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bernabe Elazar in the 83rd minute of play. 85 minutes into the match, Anselmo Vachon had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jaime Caradaro. Recoleta's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Anselmo Vachon was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Chillar AFC's Maximiliano Quilo proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 90th minute of the match, managed to save Chillar AFC from getting a goal against them. Damian Nayely sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 95 minutes into the game, Omar Asier recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Maximiliano Quilo. Omar Asier showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-2. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Recoleta walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
