League Play-Off

Estadio Catamarca
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Cipriano Checa took the kick off in the first half of the match. Celestino Errapel showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gilberto Isauro, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. If Gilberto Isauro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Zavalla's Celestino Errapel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gilberto Isauro in the 11th minute of play. When Teodoro Galtero came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Hipolito FC 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 Teodoro Galtero couldn't finish the play. Teodoro Galtero received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 15th minute. Celestino Errapel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 27 minutes of play, Zavalla's Melchor Ondino made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Angelino Lain was left in no man's land by his defense there! Celestino Errapel made a fantastic save in the 45th minute, when Teodoro Galtero sent off a good shot on target. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Gilberto Isauro to strike the kick off in the second half. After having played for 51 minutes, Manuel Gonsalve managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Zavalla's supporters crossed their fingers, but Manuel Gonsalve was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Manuel Gonsalve had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The referee ignored Zavalla's protests and gave Vladimiro Phelipe a yellow card for diving instead. In the 74th minute, Vladimiro Phelipe hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 76 minutes into the match, Teodoro Galtero had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Celestino Errapel.
