League Play-Off

Maggiolo
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. Virgilio Pietro started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute Ciro Ubendu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Joel Gonza saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Joel Gonza took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ciro Ubendu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ramiro Rius took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Virgilio Pietro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 11th match minute, Niedo FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alfred Banan to maneuver through the defense. Niedo FC's Ramiro Rius played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Virgilio Pietro in the 19th minute of play. If Ciro Ubendu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Virgilio Pietro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ramiro Rius having to interfere. If Virgilio Pietro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ciro Ubendu recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 37th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Fernando Morientes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Lázaro Argina charged in rather forcefully in the 44th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Lázaro Argina the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 44th minute, Lázaro Argina hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ciro Ubendu struck a weak shot in the 47th minute. Joel Gonza didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Niedo FC. The Maggiolo players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Niedo FC were winning 0-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ciro Ubendu was the one to do the kick off.

Serafino Domenec kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. A hard shot 75 in the game by Ciro Ubendu from a close distance when the talented Joel Gonza managed to make a qualified save. Maggiolo's players were relieved. In the 76th minute, Simon Ugaitz reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Joel Gonza. The goal made the score 0-2. In the 85th minute, Iker Leocadio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Maggiolo's zone, Anibal Ruisko stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Joel Gonza came out of the goal and Anibal Ruisko tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The supporters of Niedo FC booed when Maggiolo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 92 match minutes in a wonderful position. Paulo Cristofor didn't get a good kick on the ball.
