League Play-Off

Estadio Tabaquillo
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. Miguel Guillem started the match with the kick off. 2 minutes in the game, Eustacio Abilio dribbled his way through the penalty area and after maneuvering past an opponent, drilled a quick shot at the goal. The ball looked like it was going in, but it was hit a bit too hard and flew over the goal. Everardo Dorio charged in rather forcefully in the 3rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Everardo Dorio the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After some fancy dribbling in the 9th minute, Moises Evangelista managed to get in a good position for a shot. Higuera AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Moises Evangelista was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Lisandro Serafo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Jonas Dolcet kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match. If Vinicio Asier had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Miguel Guillem had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 18th minute Moises Evangelista shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lisandro Serafo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Justino Walme fell near the penalty area in the 20th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tabaquillo's protests and gave Justino Walme a yellow card for diving instead. Higuera AFC's Celso Su couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 21st minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Tabaquillo. If Moises Evangelista had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Justino Walme had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 34 minutes of play Higuera AFC's Jonas Dolcet was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. A hard shot by Amadeo Aznaro from long distance, 35 minutes into the match, got Albano Opilano's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. After some fancy dribbling in the 37th minute, Vinicio Asier managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tabaquillo's supporters rose to their feet, but Vinicio Asier was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Albano Opilano breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 39th minute, Eustacio Abilio 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. Vinicio Asier recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 42nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Justino Walme received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Albano Opilano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Vinicio Asier made a kick off. After a rather tough play, Tabaquillo's Vinicio Asier got a free kick in the 54th minute. An unexpected shot in the 58th minute by Moises Evangelista got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. After 65 played minutes Higuera AFC got a freekick which was hit by Miguel Guillem. Amadeo Aznaro, 66 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Vinicio Asier received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 69th minute. Albano Opilano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Venancio Mateo's late challenge caught a Tabaquillo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Venancio Mateo helped the player get up and apologised. When Vinicio Asier came up free with the goalie in the 77th minute, the Tabaquillo fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Vinicio Asier couldn't finish the play.
