League Play-Off

Tipas
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Hermengildo Ofelio made the kick off which started today's match. 7 minutes into the game, Florencio Eron was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Eustolia's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Tipas AFC the free kick. The supporters of Tipas AFC booed when Eustolia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 7 match minutes in a wonderful position. Florencio Eron didn't get a good kick on the ball. Hermengildo Ofelio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Nicolas Roderigo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Julian Urbasa came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Eustolia 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 Julian Urbasa couldn't finish the play. After 18 played minutes Eustolia got a freekick which was hit by Everardo Firme. Honorato Unai acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 18th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Pablo Esiquio.

Freddy Ortle received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute. Honorato Unai tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Freddy Ortle made the kick off in the second half. In the 57th minute Hermengildo Ofelio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nicolas Roderigo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 58th minute, Freddy Ortle 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.

In the 62nd minute, Julian Urbasa 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. After a defensive mix-up in Tipas AFC's zone, Hermengildo Ofelio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Nicolas Roderigo came out of the goal and Hermengildo Ofelio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Hermengildo Ofelio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nicolas Roderigo having to interfere. In the 76th minute, Omar Montez hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Nicolas Roderigo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

After 84 minutes, Jeronimo Joanes mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tipas AFC and the Eustolia players grew even worse after the yellow card. If Julian Urbasa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Julian Urbasa got free with Nicolas Roderigo in the 90th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. An unexpectedly hard shot by Freddy Ortle in the 95th minute of play forced Eustolia's goalkeeper Honorato Unai to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Honorato Unai showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Freddy Ortle, who was totally free with the ball in the 96th minute. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Eustolia eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
