League Play-Off

Churo
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Tab Chimeno took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Eladio Garate came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the Caucherguna 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 Eladio Garate couldn't finish the play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Garcia Vela during the 4th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Churo FC's Garcia Vela got a free kick in the 4th minute. After 6 minutes, Martino Olabarrieta made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Churo FC's Zemario Mendiune tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 14 minutes into the match, Martino Olabarrieta had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Zemario Mendiune. Churo FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Martino Olabarrieta was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. When Caucherguna's Martino Olabarrieta in the 19th minute got a chance for a shot 19th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Churo FC's goalie prevented a goal. Tab Chimeno fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jonatan Escajedo having to interfere. After 26 minutes, Cordeal Cedron mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Caucherguna and the Churo FC players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Zemario Mendiune showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Martino Olabarrieta in the 30th minute of the match.

Churo FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Caucherguna the free kick. Bruno Sorriba took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 36th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Zemario Mendiune. Churo FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Eladio Garate struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Zemario Mendiune didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Caucherguna. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Martino Olabarrieta was the one to do the kick off.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Churo FC's Zemario Mendiune proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 66th minute of the match, managed to save Churo FC from getting a goal against them. With an all-out effort, Caucherguna's Zemario Mendiune threw himself towards the right post 67 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Martino Olabarrieta, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. In the 71st minute Estefan Iruleta shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jonatan Escajedo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
