League Play-Off

Estadio Deseo
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Xefe Mallen kicked off to start the match. Obregón Aujea scored 1-0 in the 3rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rodriguez Oca, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 7th minute Xefe Mallen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rolando Onterino saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 9th minute, Xefe Mallen got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Rolando Onterino showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Telmo Maoño in the 13th minute of the match. Rolando Onterino made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Xefe Mallen in the 16th minute of play. Rodriguez Oca took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Elvis Gaona, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Mendoza Larrinaga struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. Rodriguez Oca didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for CD Deseo. Elvis Gaona fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rodriguez Oca having to interfere. When Elvis Gaona came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the CD Deseo 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 Elvis Gaona couldn't finish the play. After 30 played minutes UD Cuatis got a freekick which was hit by Zosimo Farias. The crowd rose to their feet as Elvis Gaona kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Rodriguez Oca. That made the score 2-0 in the 35 minute of play. In the 38th minute, Zavior Celaya hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 39th minute Xefe Mallen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rolando Onterino saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Rodriguez Oca came out of the goal in the 41st minute to try and stop a shot by CD Deseo's Mendoza Larrinaga. But to his dismay, Mendoza Larrinaga quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-0. After 45 minutes, Urti Amescua mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the UD Cuatis and the CD Deseo players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 45 played minutes UD Cuatis got a freekick which was hit by Urti Amescua. 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 3-0.

The wind increased when Elvis Gaona made the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, CD Deseo's Tomas Rocafort got a free kick in the 53rd minute. With a little luck, CD Deseo's Rolando Onterino got control of the ball when Telmo Maoño tried to sneak it across the goal line. Telmo Maoño recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 57th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. CD Deseo's Aragón Arijola pulled a muscle in his leg after 59 minutes and couldn't finish the game. In the 60th minute, Xefe Mallen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 61st minute the ball was on its way in behind UD Cuatis's goalkeeper Rodriguez Oca, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Rodriguez Oca made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mendoza Larrinaga in the 63rd minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in CD Deseo's zone, Xefe Mallen stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rolando Onterino came out of the goal and Xefe Mallen tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After having played for 66 minutes, Xefe Mallen managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. UD Cuatis's supporters crossed their fingers, but Xefe Mallen was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Rolando Onterino made an important save on a dangerous shot by Telmo Maoño in the 68th minute. Telmo Maoño fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rolando Onterino having to interfere. If Zosimo Farias had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Telmo Maoño's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Rolando Onterino firmly grabbed it by the left post. Zavior Celaya hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. A long shot from Francisco Velandia in the 81st minute of play was well struck, but Rolando Onterino made a really good save at the right post. Xefe Mallen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. Rolando Onterino tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Xefe Mallen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Xefe Mallen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 88th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rolando Onterino having to interfere. Telmo Maoño fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rolando Onterino having to interfere. Rubén Treceño might have been able to make a better finish in the 97th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Rolando Onterino. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Rubén Treceño ran back to his position shaking his head. UD Cuatis's supporters were dissatisfied at the end of the match because CD Deseo had won, even though UD Cuatis had held more of the ball.
