League Play-Off

Valle
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, 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. Xavies Soraiz started the match with the kick off. Xavies Soraiz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 7th minute. Nacho Victoria tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 10 minutes into the match, Valle FC's goal looked a bit too open when Belmiro Morelo came free, but Fulgencio Heban reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Endura Carcel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Xavies Soraiz struck a weak shot in the 15th minute. Nacho Victoria didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Valle FC. Valle FC's Fulgencio Heban played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Endura Carcel in the 27th minute of play. If Belmiro Morelo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Xavies Soraiz in the 32nd minute of play forced Rosaria's goalkeeper Nacho Victoria to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Lucero Castelao's late challenge caught a Valle FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Lucero Castelao helped the player get up and apologised. Lucero Castelao hit a great freekick 34 minutes into the match. In the 35th minute Dominguez Armental shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nacho Victoria saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Dimo Brena got free with Nacho Victoria in the 40th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a defensive mix-up in Rosaria's zone, Xavies Soraiz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Nacho Victoria came out of the goal and Xavies Soraiz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Xavies Soraiz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nacho Victoria having to interfere. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Belmiro Morelo to strike the kick off in the second half. After 57 played minutes Valle FC got a freekick which was hit by Delfino Chamorro. Endura Carcel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 60th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 61st minute, Valle FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Belmiro Morelo fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. If Belmiro Morelo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Galoer Gegunde kicked well hit freekick during the 68th minute of the match. Fulgencio Heban stood somewhat misplaced when Endura Carcel came free in front of goal and shot 1-1 to the left of him in the 73 minute. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Belmiro Morelo in the 77th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Fulgencio Heban prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Rosaria's Nacho Victoria played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Xavies Soraiz in the 81st minute of play. In the 85th minute Dimo Brena shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nacho Victoria saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Xavies Soraiz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 96th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
