League Play-Off

Estadio Loreto
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, 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. Aureliano Notes started the match with the kick off. The crowd rose to their feet as Loreto's Sauveur Cia slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Galsino Olar. That made the score 1-0 after 4 minutes of play. When the match had gone on for 11 minutes, Aureliano Notes put it in 1-1 from a short distance just to the right of Izel Gacel. Loreto's Izel Gacel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Aureliano Notes in the 16th minute of play. In the 17th minute Gudesteo Santervas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Izel Gacel saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, Loreto's Sidoro Marroquin got a free kick in the 17th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 18th minute, Aureliano Notes managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ypacarai FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Aureliano Notes was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Izel Gacel breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Izel Gacel showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Aureliano Notes in the 23rd minute of the match. The supporters of Ypacarai FC booed when Loreto was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 26 match minutes in a wonderful position. Felix Ali didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Furtado Minjaraz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 38 minutes into the match, Loreto's Furtado Minjaraz sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Galsino Olar narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Izel Gacel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Aureliano Notes in the 41st minute of play. In the 42nd match minute, Loreto was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Iyan Bergas to maneuver through the defense. Aureliano Notes received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Izel Gacel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Sauveur Cia stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Sauveur Cia fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Galsino Olar having to interfere. In the 56th match minute, Loreto was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sidoro Marroquin to maneuver through the defense. If Gudesteo Santervas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Furtado Minjaraz in the 63rd minute of play forced Ypacarai FC's goalkeeper Galsino Olar to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Gudesteo Santervas got free with Izel Gacel in the 64th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Izel Gacel didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Gudesteo Santervas went, in the 66th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-3 was the resulting score. Aureliano Notes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 80th minute Sauveur Cia shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Galsino Olar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 82 minutes into the match, Ypacarai FC's goal looked a bit too open when Sauveur Cia came free, but Galsino Olar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sauveur Cia hit a great freekick 84 minutes into the match. In the 86th minute Furtado Minjaraz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Galsino Olar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Galsino Olar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Furtado Minjaraz, who was totally free with the ball in the 88th minute. Galsino Olar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Furtado Minjaraz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Gudesteo Santervas came up free with the goalie in the 96th minute, the Ypacarai FC 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 Gudesteo Santervas couldn't finish the play. Ypacarai FC played a much better game than Loreto and deserved their victory. The Loreto players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
