League Play-Off

Centro
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Jesco Vinayo got the match started through his kick off. Ceferino Fonoll took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jesco Vinayo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Feliciano Oñaederra came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Centro AFC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Feliciano Oñaederra couldn't finish the play. Jesco Vinayo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 21st minute of the match Centro AFC got a corner. Machado's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Virgilio Iturriaga ran over to the corner to take the kick. Transito Higuera was in a good position and managed to take a shot, but he missed just to the outside of the post. Roman Resco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ceferino Fonoll having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Sasoin Guevara's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Isidor Ygnacio was relentless in the 27th minute of the game. After 29 played minutes Machado got a freekick which was hit by Balendin Mazuelos. Centro AFC's Feliciano Oñaederra got a good chance for a goal in the 30th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Roman Resco sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 44 minutes of play, Machado's Jesco Vinayo made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ceferino Fonoll was left in no man's land by his defense there!

The wind increased when Sasoin Guevara made the kick off in the second half. Machado's Roman Resco got a good chance for a goal in the 53rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Ceferino Fonoll showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jesco Vinayo in the 56th minute of the match. Isidor Ygnacio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Feliciano Oñaederra, who was totally free with the ball in the 58th minute. The supporters of Machado booed when Centro AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 63 match minutes in a wonderful position. Amancio Trespalacios didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Jesco Vinayo in the 73rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ceferino Fonoll saved Centro AFC from getting behind. If Sasoin Guevara had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jesco Vinayo was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 80th minute. Machado's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Ceferino Fonoll made an important save on a dangerous shot by Roman Resco in the 82nd minute. Jesco Vinayo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 85th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ceferino Fonoll having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Machado's Frechoso Fole got a free kick in the 91st minute. 97 minutes into the match, Machado's goal looked a bit too open when Sasoin Guevara came free, but Isidor Ygnacio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The Centro AFC supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Machado's performance. The match ended with a win for Machado.
