League Play-Off

Estadio Arrocera
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Nunez Lleir got the match started through his kick off. 13 minutes into the match, Arrocera AFC's Severo Tabby broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Nunez Lleir had several of the La Banda Football Club's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 16 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-0 score and a disappointed Adan Maule as he didn't even see the shot coming. Emiliano Franco hit a great freekick 22 minutes into the match. Danilo Platon made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Prudencio Marz in the 25th minute of play. If Amador Hernandez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 32nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Arrocera AFC's goalkeeper Danilo Platon, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. With his leg Adan Maule managed to avoid a goal in the 34thth minute, when Arrocera AFC's Amador Hernandez fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After 35 minutes, Adan Beltran mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the La Banda Football Club and the Arrocera AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Arrocera AFC booed when La Banda Football Club was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 35 match minutes in a wonderful position. Adan Beltran didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nunez Lleir in the 38th minute of play forced La Banda Football Club's goalkeeper Adan Maule to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Nunez Lleir struck a weak shot in the 42nd minute. Adan Maule didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Arrocera AFC. The audience was convinced that Santo Salvidor's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Danilo Platon was relentless in the 47th minute of the game.

The wind increased when Santo Salvidor made the kick off in the second half. 57 minutes into the match, La Banda Football Club's goal looked a bit too open when Nunez Lleir came free, but Adan Maule reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Danilo Platon made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Santo Salvidor in the 59th minute of play. Adan Maule showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Amador Hernandez, who was totally free with the ball in the 62nd minute. When the match clock showed 69 minutes, the score became 3-0 when Nunez Lleir sped through La Banda Football Club's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Adan Maule. The supporters of La Banda Football Club booed when Arrocera AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 73 match minutes in a wonderful position. Martin Ramone didn't get a good kick on the ball. Prudencio Marz in the 74thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Danilo Platon, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Santo Salvidor received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 77th minute. Danilo Platon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Through an outstanding action, after 81 minutes, Danilo Platon successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. After 83 minutes, Prudencio Marz made it 3-1 with a short kick to the right side. Arrocera AFC's Danilo Platon tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Danilo Platon came out of the goal in the 89th minute to try and stop a shot by La Banda Football Club's Prudencio Marz. But to his dismay, Prudencio Marz quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-2. For all the effort they put into the match, the La Banda Football Club players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Arrocera AFC.
