League Play-Off

Estadio Sauzal
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Silvio Mata took the kick off in the first half of the match. Matthew Ortega lost his temper 4 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In the 5th minute, Matthew Ortega hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a rather tough play, Sauzal's Serafin Viñaspre got a free kick in the 7th minute. Berdaitz Villalva struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Hermon Rino didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sauzal. Hermon Rino made an important save on a dangerous shot by Berdaitz Villalva in the 11th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Sauzal's zone, Silvio Mata stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Basajaun Poblaciones came out of the goal and Silvio Mata tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Clodoveo Villabedon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Basajaun Poblaciones having to interfere. Hermon Rino came out of the goal in the 16th minute to try and stop a shot by Sauzal's Berdaitz Villalva. But to his dismay, Berdaitz Villalva quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. Basajaun Poblaciones made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Clodoveo Villabedon in the 21st minute of play. Berdaitz Villalva received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Hermon Rino tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Berdaitz Villalva sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Serafin Viñaspre might have been able to make a better finish in the 30th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Hermon Rino. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Serafin Viñaspre ran back to his position shaking his head. A collision led to Turupi getting a freekick after 32 minutes play. Saverio Rilo hit a great ball. Berdaitz Villalva received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. Hermon Rino tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Domingos Gutierrez fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hermon Rino having to interfere. Serafin Viñaspre was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 39th minute. Sauzal's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 44th minute the ball was on its way in behind Turupi's goalkeeper Hermon Rino, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. With a little luck, Turupi's Hermon Rino got control of the ball when Domingos Gutierrez tried to sneak it across the goal line. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Berdaitz Villalva to strike the kick off in the second half. Hermon Rino showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Berdaitz Villalva, who was totally free with the ball in the 52nd minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Clodoveo Villabedon got free with Basajaun Poblaciones in the 57th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Berdaitz Villalva had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 62 minutes into the match, Turupi's goal looked a bit too open when Berdaitz Villalva came free, but Hermon Rino reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ourente Olazabal charged in rather forcefully in the 63rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ourente Olazabal the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Ourente Olazabal hit a great freekick 63 minutes into the match. In the 67th match minute, Sauzal was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Haritz Laviada to maneuver through the defense. Silvio Mata received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 69th minute. Basajaun Poblaciones tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ourente Olazabal kicked well hit freekick during the 70th minute of the match. The attack was good, but when Silvio Mata in the 72nd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. In the 75thth minute of the game Silvio Mata who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Sauzal's Basajaun Poblaciones was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Berdaitz Villalva in the 80th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Hermon Rino saved Turupi from getting behind. Hermon Rino took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Berdaitz Villalva, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 83 minutes into the game, Berdaitz Villalva cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-0. Hermon Rino was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a rather tough play, Sauzal's Serafin Viñaspre got a free kick in the 88th minute. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Sauzal fully deserved thier win.
