League Play-Off

Casablanca
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. Ruperto Perico started the match with the kick off. Leonel Lluc struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. Filiberto Dalmau didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Jáchal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Jimeno Jon got free with Raul Cordarell in the 10th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 13th minute, Daniel Montay hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Jimeno Jon who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 14thth minute tested the skills of Raul Cordarell when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Casablanca AFC were awarded a corner in the 16th minute after Jáchal's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Miguel Rik took the corner. Ruperto Perico might have been able to make a better finish in the 18th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Filiberto Dalmau. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ruperto Perico ran back to his position shaking his head. Leonel Lluc scored 1-1 in the 20th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Filiberto Dalmau, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

In the 25th minute, Prospero Ponciano hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 26th minute of the match Ceferino Conrao sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Filiberto Dalmau skillfully saved the ball. Daniel Montay's late challenge caught a Casablanca AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Daniel Montay helped the player get up and apologised. Daniel Montay hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. In the 30th minute Leonel Lluc shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Filiberto Dalmau saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Filiberto Dalmau took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ruperto Perico, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ruperto Perico fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Filiberto Dalmau having to interfere. Jimeno Jon struck a weak shot in the 41st minute. Raul Cordarell didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Casablanca AFC. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Generoso Orlondo stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 52nd minute Jimeno Jon shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Raul Cordarell saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Raul Cordarell made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jimeno Jon in the 54th minute of play. 56 minutes into the game, Leonel Lluc cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Filiberto Dalmau was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Generoso Orlondo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jáchal's Raul Cordarell played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jimeno Jon in the 62nd minute of play. With a little luck, Casablanca AFC's Filiberto Dalmau got control of the ball when Leonel Lluc tried to sneak it across the goal line.

The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Filiberto Dalmau showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Generoso Orlondo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Raul Cordarell tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Jimeno Jon came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the Casablanca AFC 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 Jimeno Jon couldn't finish the play. If Ruperto Perico had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Casablanca AFC's zone, Leonel Lluc stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Filiberto Dalmau came out of the goal and Leonel Lluc tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jáchal's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
