League Play-Off

Estadio Buchupureo
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ever Grille started the match with the kick off. Labranza FC's Ever Grille got a good chance for a goal in the 6th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 9 minutes into the game, Ariano Borghi was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Buchupureo's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Labranza FC the free kick. A collision led to Buchupureo getting a freekick after 9 minutes play. Ariano Borghi hit a great ball. If Ever Grille had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 14 played minutes Buchupureo got a freekick which was hit by Horacio Landaeta. After 18 minutes of play Buchupureo's Ariano Borghi was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. The supporters of Labranza FC booed when Buchupureo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 18 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ariano Borghi didn't get a good kick on the ball. Franco Mackenzie received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 21st minute. Rubén Advis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ever Grille fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rubén Advis having to interfere. Giancarlo Porras charged in rather forcefully in the 41st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Giancarlo Porras the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 46th minute, Franco Mackenzie made a precise shot to the right of Rubén Advis. Buchupureo's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Carmelo Fritis made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fidelio Pomar in the 53rd minute of play. After a rather tough play, Labranza FC's Hermelando Jodar got a free kick in the 54th minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Fidelio Pomar in the 56th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Carmelo Fritis saved Labranza FC from getting behind. Rubén Advis made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ever Grille in the 59th minute of play. Ever Grille did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 0-2 to the left of a surprised Rubén Advis 61 minutes into the match. After 64 played minutes, Labranza FC's Armando Tabilo shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Rubén Advis 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 Labranza FC reached it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ever Grille in the 71st minute of play forced Buchupureo's goalkeeper Rubén Advis to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ever Grille fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rubén Advis having to interfere. Ever Grille received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. Rubén Advis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Fidelio Pomar recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 85th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 87 minutes into the game, Fidelio Pomar cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Carmelo Fritis was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 91st minute Ever Grille shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rubén Advis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Rubén Advis made a fantastic save in the 92nd minute, when Franco Mackenzie sent off a good shot on target.
