League Play-Off

Estadio Sumampa
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Honorio Obano got the match started through his kick off. The supporters of Corazzi booed when Rio Colorado was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ambrosio Enetz didn't get a good kick on the ball. A collision led to Corazzi getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Damaso Ixaka hit a great ball. In the 7th minute, Rio Colorado's Geronimo Jaizki seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Geronimo Jaizki the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Rio Colorado protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Geronimo Jaizki had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 7 minutes into the game, one of Rio Colorado:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. After 13 minutes, Honorio Obano made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Rio Colorado's Virgilio Estavan tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. After some fancy dribbling in the 20th minute, Honorio Obano managed to get in a good position for a shot. Corazzi's supporters rose to their feet, but Honorio Obano was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Virgilio Estavan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After some careless play in the Rio Colorado defense, Damaso Ixaka kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Virgilio Estavan. The Rio Colorado fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Virgilio Estavan should have stopped the shot. In the 29th minute Nicolas Cordeal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Virgilio Estavan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tomas Gonzales kicked well hit freekick during the 30th minute of the match. Virgilio Estavan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ignacio Eguen in the 32nd minute of play. Ignacio Eguen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Honorio Obano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Fulgencio Vimaro fell near the penalty area in the 41st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Rio Colorado's protests and gave Fulgencio Vimaro a yellow card for diving instead. Fulgencio Vimaro hit a great freekick 41 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ignacio Eguen in the 44th minute of play forced Rio Colorado's goalkeeper Virgilio Estavan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ignacio Eguen recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 45th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Vicente Calisto charged in rather forcefully in the 47th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Vicente Calisto the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Vicente Calisto hit a great freekick 47 minutes into the match. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Marciano Jaunzuria tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Marcelo Vistruario. An unnecessary self made goal, 1-2 in the 53rd minute. Rio Colorado's Casimiro Tano got a good chance for a goal in the 63rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Virgilio Estavan made a fantastic save in the 69th minute, when Ignacio Eguen sent off a good shot on target. In the 71st minute, Tomas Gonzales hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 72nd minute, Andres Toribio sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Rio Colorado's Virgilio Estavan didn't even have to move. After having played for 74 minutes, Casimiro Tano managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rio Colorado's supporters crossed their fingers, but Casimiro Tano was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ambrosio Enetz blasted a shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Marcelo Vistruario having to make a save. After a rather tough play, Corazzi's Zeledon Corderun got a free kick in the 81st minute. Rio Colorado's Virgilio Estavan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Honorio Obano in the 88th minute of play. Virgilio Estavan made a fantastic save in the 89th minute, when Ignacio Eguen sent off a good shot on target. Casimiro Tano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Corazzi's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
