League Play-Off

Estadio Marina
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. Xuan Sibila started the match with the kick off. 7 minutes into the match, Marina's goal looked a bit too open when Xuan Sibila came free, but Sancho Chanza reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sancho Chanza made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Xuan Sibila in the 9th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 11th minute, Xuan Sibila managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kendal's supporters rose to their feet, but Xuan Sibila was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sancho Chanza breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Isusko Quemada hit a great freekick 13 minutes into the match. Calvet Gabilondo's late challenge caught a Marina's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Calvet Gabilondo helped the player get up and apologised. After 16 played minutes Kendal got a freekick which was hit by Calvet Gabilondo. If Romo Cotorro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Urbano Falguera made a fantastic save in the 19th minute, when Romo Cotorro sent off a good shot on target. 24 minutes into the game, Tohias Villasana recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Urbano Falguera. Tohias Villasana showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. In the 27th minute, Romo Cotorro got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Romo Cotorro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 33rd minute. Urbano Falguera tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Kendal's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Nunez Averasturi in the 44th minute. Intxixu Haya received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 48th minute. Sancho Chanza tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Tohias Villasana made a kick off. If Romo Cotorro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Intxixu Haya sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Xuan Sibila came up free with the goalie in the 67th minute, the Kendal 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 Xuan Sibila couldn't finish the play. With a little luck, Marina's Sancho Chanza got control of the ball when Intxixu Haya tried to sneak it across the goal line. Marina's Sancho Chanza proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 72nd minute of the match, managed to save Marina from getting a goal against them. In the 81st minute the ball was on its way in behind Kendal's goalkeeper Urbano Falguera, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Romo Cotorro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Urbano Falguera having to interfere. Urbano Falguera showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tohias Villasana, who was totally free with the ball in the 90th minute. Urbano Falguera took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tohias Villasana, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Gilen Guiu was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 97th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Marina's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
