League Play-Off

Estadio Sinsacate
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Danilo Artizar took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Ovidio Amor had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 5 minutes, Eulalio Elorri mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Bustamente AFC and the Sinsacate AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 7th minute of the match Salvador Nuno shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Delmiro Abadia showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 11th minute, Rodrigo Mendez reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Delmiro Abadia. The goal made the score 1-0. Eugenio Eufrasio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Enrique Sasoin, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute. Sinsacate AFC's Eugenio Eufrasio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Danilo Artizar in the 16th minute of play.

Rodrigo Mendez fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Delmiro Abadia having to interfere. After 25 played minutes Bustamente AFC got a freekick which was hit by Siro Chano. 29 minutes into the game, Silverio Elivareo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Bustamente AFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Sinsacate AFC the free kick. After 37 minutes of play, Sinsacate AFC's Ovidio Amor made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Delmiro Abadia was left in no man's land by his defense there! Rosendo Faron hit a great freekick 40 minutes into the match. 46 minutes into the match, Bustamente AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Rodrigo Mendez came free, but Delmiro Abadia reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Rodrigo Mendez stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in Bustamente AFC's zone, Rodrigo Mendez stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Delmiro Abadia came out of the goal and Rodrigo Mendez tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 59th minute Ovidio Amor shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Delmiro Abadia saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Ovidio Amor sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Siro Chano hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. Ovidio Amor received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Delmiro Abadia tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sinsacate AFC's Ovidio Amor got a good chance for a goal in the 86th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rodrigo Mendez in the 88th minute of play forced Bustamente AFC's goalkeeper Delmiro Abadia to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Eulalio Elorri hit a great freekick 90 minutes into the match. The supporters of Sinsacate AFC booed when Bustamente AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 93 match minutes in a wonderful position. Danilo Artizar didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 95th minute, Rodrigo Mendez managed to get in a good position for a shot. Sinsacate AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Rodrigo Mendez was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Delmiro Abadia breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Bustamente AFC's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
