League Play-Off

Blanquillo
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Janpier Juan got the match started through his kick off. 8 minutes into the match, Martinote's Sindo Riera sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Urbasa Villalaud narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Martino Urtarte received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Santo Corujo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Martino Urtarte succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 24th playminute. Onbera Guridi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Urbasa Villalaud tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Urbasa Villalaud showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Frederico Gandarias, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. After 36 minutes of play, Blanquillo AFC's Janpier Juan made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Santo Corujo was left in no man's land by his defense there! An unexpectedly hard shot by Platon Cañellas in the 44th minute of play forced Martinote's goalkeeper Santo Corujo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Martino Urtarte took the ball and in the 46 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Santo Corujo. Santo Corujo dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Frederico Gandarias to make the kick off. Blanquillo AFC's Janpier Juan got a good chance for a goal in the 54th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 63rd minute, Onbera Guridi managed to get in a good position for a shot. Martinote's supporters rose to their feet, but Onbera Guridi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Urbasa Villalaud breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Platon Cañellas's late challenge caught a Martinote's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Platon Cañellas helped the player get up and apologised. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 65th minute of the game. One of Blanquillo AFC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Martinote:s goal. When the match had been going on for 68 minutes, Martinote's Chico Gajardo got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Urbasa Villalaud. If Martino Urtarte had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Martinote's Virgilio Fontiveros got a free kick in the 77th minute. 80 minutes had been played when some careless play by Martinote's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Platon Cañellas was slow to take the kick. During this time Blanquillo AFC's players had a chance to rest. The corner ended in Platon Cañellas almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Martinote's Santo Corujo did a great save. Martino Urtarte sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Frederico Gandarias received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Urbasa Villalaud tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 96th minute Frederico Gandarias shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Urbasa Villalaud saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 98thth minute of the game Janpier Juan who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Martinote's Santo Corujo was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. For all the effort they put into the match, the Martinote players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Blanquillo AFC.
