League Play-Off

Estadio Paramo
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. Xarles Vidarte started the match with the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 5th minute, Xarles Vidarte managed to get in a good position for a shot. LOS EMPERADORES's supporters rose to their feet, but Xarles Vidarte was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Elvis Gene breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Xarles Vidarte received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Elvis Gene tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Rafael Villalva got free with Vasco Urdiñola in the 9th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Ysidro Vitores had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in LOS EMPERADORES's zone, Pascual Lobo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Vasco Urdiñola came out of the goal and Pascual Lobo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Xarles Vidarte had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After a rather tough play, Paramo's Bolívar Camara got a free kick in the 27th minute. After having played for 31 minutes, Xinaro Viesca managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Paramo's supporters crossed their fingers, but Xinaro Viesca was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Elvis Gene took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Urbano Cariga, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 38th minute Xarles Vidarte shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Elvis Gene saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Unai Lanzon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Elvis Gene having to interfere. 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.

In the 52nd match minute, LOS EMPERADORES was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Damian Lira to maneuver through the defense. Zelipe Silva received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Elvis Gene tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 66 minutes into the match, Xarles Vidarte dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Elvis Gene, 0-1. Elvis Gene was out of position in the 80 minute of play, and Xarles Vidarte capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Xarles Vidarte really showed his touch with that goal: 0-2. After a rather tough play, LOS EMPERADORES's Damian Lira got a free kick in the 86th minute. Marin Apodaca's late challenge caught a LOS EMPERADORES's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Marin Apodaca helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Paramo's Marin Apodaca got a free kick in the 97th minute. Xarles Vidarte fired away a difficult shot at goal in the 99th minute. He almost succeeded, but the ball bounced in the crossbar and then went out. It was a very nice shot. When the match was over LOS EMPERADORES could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Paramo throughout the match.
