League Play-Off

Estadio Zhiquir
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) David Vielva made the kick off and thus started the match. In the 7th minute, Zhiquir SC's Francisco Cabañero seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Francisco Cabañero the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Zhiquir SC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Francisco Cabañero had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In a very dangerous position, a player in Zhiquir SC fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 7th minute. Penalty! Ricardo Cuadrado recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 12th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 14 minutes into the match, Zhiquir SC's goal looked a bit too open when Urki Ameztoy came free, but Venerando Loyas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Urki Ameztoy took the ball and in the 18 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Venerando Loyas. Venerando Loyas dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. If Ricardo Cuadrado had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Venerando Loyas came out of the goal in the 26th minute to try and stop a shot by Limoncillo SC's Ricardo Cuadrado. But to his dismay, Ricardo Cuadrado quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-3. 34 minutes into the match, Zhiquir SC's Esterilla Cardigondi sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Felix Cardeño narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 38th minute, Alejandro Bolonga hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Zhiquir SC's Leonardo Mantilla couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 39th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Limoncillo SC. 47 minutes into the match, Urki Ameztoy notched a goal, 0-4, to the right of Zhiquir SC's Venerando Loyas. Venerando Loyas was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Disappointed in the 0-4 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Urki Ameztoy made the kick off in the second half. The supporters of Zhiquir SC booed when Limoncillo SC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 52 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rafael Pares didn't get a good kick on the ball. Thanks to some nice moves Ricardo Cuadrado could shoot a difficult shot in the 59th minute, which Venerando Loyas however easily saved by the left post. Xever Saenz's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Felix Cardeño read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 61st minute of play. In the 68th match minute, Zhiquir SC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Leonardo Mantilla to maneuver through the defense. Ricardo Cuadrado might have been able to make a better finish in the 73rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Venerando Loyas. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ricardo Cuadrado ran back to his position shaking his head. 75 minutes into the game, Urki Ameztoy recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Venerando Loyas. Urki Ameztoy showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-5. Limoncillo SC's Felix Cardeño played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Xever Saenz in the 80th minute of play. If Urki Ameztoy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Leonardo Mantilla's late challenge caught a Limoncillo SC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Leonardo Mantilla helped the player get up and apologised. After 84 played minutes Zhiquir SC got a freekick which was hit by Leonardo Mantilla. After 88th play minutes Urki Ameztoy shot 0-6, a short shot which went by Venerando Loyas and just under the crossbar into goal. After a rather tough play, Limoncillo SC's Oswaldo Alamon got a free kick in the 96th minute. The Zhiquir SC fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Limoncillo SC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
