League Play-Off

Cancha piola
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, 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. Seber Espada started the match with the kick off. Abel Berrez stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Gergori Belorado's shot from short distance in the 4th minute. The long shot by Rudolfo Sendin in the 8th minute really tested Bixintxo Alcano's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Seber Espada received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Abel Berrez tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 16 minutes into the game, Gai Igartua was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Paito FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Club Atlético Zamora the free kick. After 16 played minutes Paito FC got a freekick which was hit by Gai Igartua. Estevon Jurado's late challenge caught a Paito FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Estevon Jurado helped the player get up and apologised. In the 20th minute, Estevon Jurado hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Seber Espada came up free with the goalie in the 22nd minute, the Paito 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 Seber Espada couldn't finish the play. In the 25th minute Gergori Belorado shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abel Berrez saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Paito FC's Bixintxo Alcano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Txatxu Tamez in the 27th minute of play. In the game's 30th minute Paito FC's Cordarin Urrechua took a hard shot from long distance, a kick which went into the net just to the right of Abel Berrez and thus the score was 0-1. In the 33rd minute of the match, Txatxu Tamez tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Bixintxo Alcano saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. In the 43rd minute of the match Cordarin Urrechua shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Abel Berrez showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Abel Berrez showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Seber Espada, who was totally free with the ball in the 46th minute. Seber Espada fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 48th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abel Berrez having to interfere. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Txatxu Tamez made the kick off in the second half. Gergori Belorado received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 54th minute. Abel Berrez tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Cordarin Urrechua was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 57th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. If Seber Espada had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 68 minutes of play Club Atlético Zamora's Estevon Jurado was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. Estevon Jurado kicked well hit freekick during the 69th minute of the match. After having played for 70 minutes, Gergori Belorado managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Paito FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gergori Belorado was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Paito FC's Seber Espada in the 73rd minute got a chance for a shot 73rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Club Atlético Zamora's goalie prevented a goal. In the 75th minute, Pelagius Navajas hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 78thth minute of the game Seber Espada who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Club Atlético Zamora's Abel Berrez was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Seber Espada kicked well hit freekick during the 80th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Paito FC's Handi Collantes got a free kick in the 85th minute. Rigoberto Macilla sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 89 minutes into the match, Matro Miramontes notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Paito FC's Bixintxo Alcano. Bixintxo Alcano was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Abel Berrez showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Seber Espada in the 96th minute of the match. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
