League Play-Off

Estadio Lescano
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Samuel Omero kicked off to start the match. 4 minutes into the game, Alejo Claus was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Animalandia's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Lescano AFC the free kick. In the 8th play minute Ovidio Ponce came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Modesto Idacio. 1-0. 16 minutes into the match, Animalandia's goalkeeper Modesto Idacio had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ovidio Ponce. In the 17th minute of the match Cipriano Sidoro sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Diego Sugar skillfully saved the ball. Samuel Omero received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Diego Sugar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Paulo Rozarius was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 24th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Raimundo Cordarrell hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. Vicente Gaztea's late challenge caught a Lescano AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Vicente Gaztea helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Animalandia's Vicente Gaztea got a free kick in the 29th minute. Ovidio Ponce struck a weak shot in the 30th minute. Modesto Idacio didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lescano AFC. Honorato Dalmau fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Modesto Idacio having to interfere. 37 minutes into the match, Eleuterio Txatxu notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Lescano AFC's Diego Sugar. Diego Sugar was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Modesto Idacio showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Honorato Dalmau in the 42nd minute of the match. When Denis Bernard came up free with the goalie in the 46th minute, the Animalandia 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 Denis Bernard couldn't finish the play. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Honorato Dalmau to make the kick off. Animalandia's Modesto Idacio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ovidio Ponce in the 54th minute of play. Samuel Omero received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Diego Sugar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 71 minutes into the match, Samuel Omero notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Lescano AFC's Diego Sugar. Diego Sugar was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Samuel Omero sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Eleuterio Txatxu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Diego Sugar having to interfere. 84 minutes into the match, Ovidio Ponce had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Modesto Idacio. Animalandia's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ovidio Ponce was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-3. Modesto Idacio took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Honorato Dalmau, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the final whistle sounded Animalandia left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Lescano AFC.
