League Play-Off

Iguez
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. Senio Falguera started the match with the kick off. Lia Viego received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Nisio Ortega tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 16th play minute Leonardo Eliseo came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Urdin Larrañaga. 1-0. 25 minutes into the match, Paloma's goal looked a bit too open when Senio Falguera came free, but Urdin Larrañaga reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Lia Viego sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Paloma's Distiratsu Cosmen managed to work through Iguez's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Distiratsu Cosmen dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Nisio Ortega showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Lia Viego in the 31st minute of the match. Urdin Larrañaga made an important save on a dangerous shot by Leonardo Eliseo in the 33rd minute. In the 36th minute, Joselito Tresgallo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A hard shot by William Costoya from long distance, 37 minutes into the match, got Urdin Larrañaga's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. The audience thought a goal was coming when Leonardo Eliseo got free with Urdin Larrañaga in the 38th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 39thth minute of the game Senio Falguera who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Paloma's Urdin Larrañaga was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Leonardo Eliseo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Urdin Larrañaga having to interfere. After 48 minutes of play, Paloma's Lia Viego made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Nisio Ortega was left in no man's land by his defense there! The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Distiratsu Cosmen made a kick off. Distiratsu Cosmen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Nisio Ortega tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The nice shot from Lia Viego in the 58thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Nisio Ortega had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. Toli Huemen charged in rather forcefully in the 68th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Toli Huemen the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 68th minute, Toli Huemen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 69 minutes in the game, Distiratsu Cosmen dribbled his way through the penalty area and after maneuvering past an opponent, drilled a quick shot at the goal. The ball looked like it was going in, but it was hit a bit too hard and flew over the goal. After 71 minutes, Gervaso Garin mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Iguez and the Paloma players grew even worse after the yellow card. Nisio Ortega made an important save on a dangerous shot by Lia Viego in the 77th minute. 83 minutes into the game, Jusepe Cardenas was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Iguez's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Paloma the free kick. A collision led to Iguez getting a freekick after 83 minutes play. Jusepe Cardenas hit a great ball. Rumaldo Comparada recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 85th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Lia Viego fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 92nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nisio Ortega having to interfere. If Distiratsu Cosmen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Urdin Larrañaga showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Leonardo Eliseo, who was totally free with the ball in the 96th minute. Lia Viego fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 98th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nisio Ortega having to interfere. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
