League Play-Off

Estadio Mesada
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Emanuel Jayvier kicked off to start the match. Rene Arixo could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 5th minute of the match, but Hernan Montay made a huge save. In the 8th minute, Pedro Sindo 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. If Pedro Sindo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Pedro Sindo's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ezequiel Elorri read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 13th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Albano Cheche in the 19th minute of play forced Paltoroa FC's goalkeeper Hernan Montay to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Eugenio Behe fell near the penalty area in the 26th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Mesada AFC's protests and gave Eugenio Behe a yellow card for diving instead. In the 26th match minute, Mesada AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eugenio Behe to maneuver through the defense. After 27 played minutes, Paltoroa FC's Rafael Gervaso shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ezequiel Elorri came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Paltoroa FC reached it. The audience was convinced that Emanuel Jayvier's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ezequiel Elorri was relentless in the 29th minute of the game. Rodrigo Salvino kicked well hit freekick during the 31st minute of the match. Ezequiel Elorri made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Pedro Sindo in the 35th minute of play. When Pedro Sindo came up free with the goalie in the 36th minute, the Paltoroa 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 Pedro Sindo couldn't finish the play. Hernan Montay made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Albano Cheche in the 41st minute of play. Emanuel Jayvier scored 0-1 in the 43rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ezequiel Elorri, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Albano Cheche was the one to do the kick off. 51 minutes into the game, Gregorio Elequemedo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Paltoroa FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Mesada AFC the free kick. After 51 played minutes Paltoroa FC got a freekick which was hit by Gregorio Elequemedo. Pedro Sindo came free with the goalkeeper in the 62nd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Ezequiel Elorri could save by the left post. If Rene Arixo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After 72 played minutes Paltoroa FC got a freekick which was hit by Cristo Naelio. Pedro Sindo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ezequiel Elorri having to interfere. In the 80th minute Emanuel Jayvier shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ezequiel Elorri saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mesada AFC's Ezequiel Elorri played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Emanuel Jayvier in the 84th minute of play. When Cristo Naelio came up free with the goalie in the 89th minute, the Paltoroa 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 Cristo Naelio couldn't finish the play. Emanuel Jayvier received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 90th minute. Ezequiel Elorri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Paltoroa FC played a much better game than Mesada AFC and deserved their victory. The Mesada AFC players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
