League Play-Off

Arapariquen
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Diaz Garriga took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rd minute of the match, Diaz Garriga tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Xian Arriano saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Gregory Devesa in the 8th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Selmo Olozaga saved Arapariquen FC from getting behind. When Oton Gundin fell near the penalty area in the 14th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Arapariquen FC's protests and gave Oton Gundin a yellow card for diving instead. Urbano Serna, 15 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Menendo Somellera struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. Selmo Olozaga didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Anaco. After 21 played minutes Arapariquen FC got a freekick which was hit by Isidor Gigante. In the 24th minute Menendo Somellera shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Selmo Olozaga saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Selmo Olozaga showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Gregory Devesa in the 27th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Arapariquen FC's Diaz Garriga got a free kick in the 29th minute. 32 minutes into the match, Anaco's goalkeeper Xian Arriano had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Vigil Cardigondi. 34 minutes into the match, Vigil Cardigondi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Xian Arriano. Anaco's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Vigil Cardigondi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. When Vigil Cardigondi came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the Arapariquen 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 Vigil Cardigondi couldn't finish the play. Vigil Cardigondi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Vigil Cardigondi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 47th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

A hard shot 53 in the game by Menendo Somellera from a close distance when the talented Selmo Olozaga managed to make a qualified save. Arapariquen FC's players were relieved. Isidor Gigante's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Xian Arriano read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 56th minute of play. A collision led to Arapariquen FC getting a freekick after 60 minutes play. Manilan Agusto hit a great ball. 61 minutes into the match, Arapariquen FC's goal looked a bit too open when Urbano Serna came free, but Selmo Olozaga reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Menendo Somellera 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 75 played minutes Gregory Devesa could catch the ball where he stood relatively free a bit outside the goal and without hesitation he completed 1-1 into the left cross. 79 minutes into the match, Menendo Somellera notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Arapariquen FC's Selmo Olozaga. Selmo Olozaga was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Diaz Garriga in the 83rd minute of play forced Anaco's goalkeeper Xian Arriano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Gregory Devesa came up free with the goalie in the 91st minute, the Anaco 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 Gregory Devesa couldn't finish the play. Menendo Somellera recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 93rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The Anaco players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
