League Play-Off

Estadio Greco
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. Roberto Dagora started the match with the kick off. After 4 minutes, Bastiaro Madinabeitia mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Greco and the Rolon FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Rolon FC's Austin Riaza proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 6th minute of the match, managed to save Rolon FC from getting a goal against them. Roberto Dagora sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Bittor Machado fell near the penalty area in the 10th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Greco's protests and gave Bittor Machado a yellow card for diving instead. Roberto Dagora struck a weak shot in the 14th minute. Pastor Ricoy didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Rolon FC.

After having played for 26 minutes, Ferrando Antequera managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Greco's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ferrando Antequera was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Roberto Dagora in the 31st minute of play forced Greco's goalkeeper Pastor Ricoy to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
