League Play-Off

Estadio Salate
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, 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. Gilmar Traveso started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Zuzen Chumacero in the 5th minute of play forced Salate FC's goalkeeper Saritama Suesa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Obregón Dean fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ricart Lorencio having to interfere. Saritama Suesa stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Stacio Abeita's shot from short distance in the 10th minute. In the 15th match minute, Pincho was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Stacio Abeita to maneuver through the defense. Saritama Suesa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Polo Descalzo in the 17th minute of play. 20 minutes into the match, Salate FC's goal looked a bit too open when Zuzen Chumacero came free, but Saritama Suesa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Humberto Oliba kicked well hit freekick during the 21st minute of the match. Saritama Suesa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Polo Descalzo, who was totally free with the ball in the 22nd minute. 24 minutes into the match, Pincho's Zuzen Chumacero sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Saritama Suesa narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The supporters of Pincho booed when Salate FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 30 match minutes in a wonderful position. Obregón Dean didn't get a good kick on the ball. Zxavian Tarapiella took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 30th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Saritama Suesa. Salate FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. If Zuzen Chumacero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Polo Descalzo struck a weak shot in the 45th minute. Saritama Suesa didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pincho. 48 minutes into the match, Zuzen Chumacero had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Saritama Suesa. Salate FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Zuzen Chumacero was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

The wind increased when Zuzen Chumacero made the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mario Salvatierra in the 54th minute of play forced Pincho's goalkeeper Ricart Lorencio to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Pincho's Ricart Lorencio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gilmar Traveso in the 57th minute of play. Salate FC's Obregón Dean pulled a muscle in his leg after 58 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Stacio Abeita was shown his second yellow card after 58 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. After a rather tough play, Pincho's Stacio Abeita got a free kick in the 60th minute. Ferrer Graciosa blasted a shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ricart Lorencio having to make a save. Mario Salvatierra sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 79 minutes of play, Pincho's Polo Descalzo made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Saritama Suesa was left in no man's land by his defense there! Marcelo Sierra hit a great freekick 85 minutes into the match. Mario Salvatierra fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ricart Lorencio having to interfere. Mario Salvatierra received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 94th minute. Ricart Lorencio tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Zuzen Chumacero charged in rather forcefully in the 95th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Zuzen Chumacero the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Zuzen Chumacero hit a great freekick 95 minutes into the match. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Pincho eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
