League Play-Off

Iloga
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Evelio Rey started the match with the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Iloga AFC's zone, Felix Indalecio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Florencio Kemen came out of the goal and Felix Indalecio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 5 minutes into the game, Evelio Rey cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Florencio Kemen was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 9th minute Santos Guipuzkoa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gregorio Firmo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gogo Urtzi struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. Gregorio Firmo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Iloga AFC. Florencio Kemen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Evelio Rey, who was totally free with the ball in the 23rd minute. After a rather tough play, Iloga AFC's Guaberto Cordaro got a free kick in the 23rd minute. After 28 played minutes, Pachimoco's Aristides Giro shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Florencio Kemen 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 Pachimoco reached it. Gogo Urtzis short, quick shot in the 32ndth minute got Gregorio Firmo to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Gregorio Firmo made a fantastic save in the 33rd minute, when Gogo Urtzi sent off a good shot on target. Felix Indalecio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Florencio Kemen having to interfere.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Santos Guipuzkoa stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 54 minutes into the match, Santos Guipuzkoa had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gregorio Firmo. Pachimoco's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Santos Guipuzkoa was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. Evelio Rey fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Florencio Kemen having to interfere. Gregorio Firmo came out of the goal in the 59th minute to try and stop a shot by Iloga AFC's Santos Guipuzkoa. But to his dismay, Santos Guipuzkoa quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. Santos Guipuzkoa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gregorio Firmo having to interfere. In the 71st minute Santos Guipuzkoa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gregorio Firmo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 75 minutes into the match, Iloga AFC's Gogo Urtzi sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gregorio Firmo narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Iloga AFC's Santos Guipuzkoa got a good chance for a goal in the 76th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Gogo Urtzi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gogo Urtzi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gregorio Firmo having to interfere. Gogo Urtzi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 88th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Pachimoco's Gregorio Firmo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Esteban Frutos in the 96th minute of play. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
