League Play-Off

Tucusito
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ekhi Babiano kicked off to start the match. Tucusito FC's Azeari Canel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ermengol Sayavedra in the 7th minute of play. If Pueblo Albizu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
