League Play-Off

Bombolo
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Fliz Muga made the kick off which started today's match. When Serafo Broz fell near the penalty area in the 4th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bombolo's protests and gave Serafo Broz a yellow card for diving instead. In the 4th match minute, Bombolo was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Serafo Broz to maneuver through the defense. After 6 played minutes, Canas's Seme Tolentin shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Dantel Villajane came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Canas reached it. Manilan Jordana might have been able to make a better finish in the 15th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Dantel Villajane. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Manilan Jordana ran back to his position shaking his head. If Rioja Velamines had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Llorian Coronado in the 23rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Dantel Villajane saved Bombolo from getting behind. After some fancy dribbling in the 26th minute, Lonzo Aizaran managed to get in a good position for a shot. Bombolo's supporters rose to their feet, but Lonzo Aizaran was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Francesco Erce breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Francesco Erce made an important save on a dangerous shot by Lonzo Aizaran in the 28th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Bombolo's zone, Manilan Jordana stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Dantel Villajane came out of the goal and Manilan Jordana tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 33 minutes into the game, Procopio Mendia was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Bombolo's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Canas the free kick. In the 33rd minute, Procopio Mendia hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Manilan Jordana in the 35th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Dantel Villajane prevented the ball from getting in the gole. 36 minutes into the game, Manilan Jordana cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Dantel Villajane was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After having played for 39 minutes, Manilan Jordana managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Canas's supporters crossed their fingers, but Manilan Jordana was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 46th minute, Lonzo Aizaran made a precise shot to the right of Francesco Erce. Canas's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

58 minutes into the game, Bombolo's Lonzo Aizaran nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Francesco Erce made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-1. In the 60th minute, Serafo Broz hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Procopio Mendia fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Francesco Erce having to interfere. 72 minutes into the match, Bombolo's goal looked a bit too open when Llorian Coronado came free, but Dantel Villajane reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Fliz Muga sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Dantel Villajane showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Llorian Coronado, who was totally free with the ball in the 82nd minute. Canas's Francesco Erce played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Serafo Broz in the 85th minute of play. Bombolo's Serafo Broz got his second yellow card of the match in the 88th minute. The referee ordered Serafo Broz off the ground. Serafo Broz kicked well hit freekick during the 89th minute of the match. Llorian Coronado recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 97th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Bombolo fully deserved thier win.
