League Play-Off

Udusha
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Juan-Carlos Mendez took the kick off in the first half of the match. Navarro Coronel hit a great freekick 6 minutes into the match. Ramos Taranco charged in rather forcefully in the 9th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ramos Taranco the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Ramos Taranco hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. Juan-Carlos Mendez might have been able to make a better finish in the 13th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Veto Tofiño. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Juan-Carlos Mendez ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 16th minute of the match, Hugo Hostos got a very nice opportunity to score, but Veto Tofiño was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Lucas Ruich took the ball and in the 18 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Urre Melendez. Urre Melendez dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. After having played for 28 minutes, Hugo Hostos managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Udusha's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hugo Hostos was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 29 minutes, Mendoza Bobadilla mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Wakanteis SC and the Udusha players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 29th minute, Mendoza Bobadilla hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a little luck, Wakanteis SC's Veto Tofiño got control of the ball when Hugo Hostos tried to sneak it across the goal line. Juan-Carlos Mendez could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 37th minute of the match, but Veto Tofiño made a huge save.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Romeo Ozollo to make the kick off. After 53 minutes Udusha's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Ramos Taranco who took care of the corner kick. Ramos Taranco made a great header on Wakanteis SC's corner, it was just that Udusha's Urre Melendez managed to reach the ball for a save. After 54 played minutes, Wakanteis SC's Vedillo Martelo shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Urre Melendez came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Wakanteis SC reached it. 56 minutes into the match, Romeo Ozollo dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Urre Melendez, 0-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Juan-Carlos Mendez in the 64th minute of play forced Wakanteis SC's goalkeeper Veto Tofiño to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Unax Portas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Juan-Carlos Mendez hit a great freekick 73 minutes into the match. The supporters of Wakanteis SC booed when Udusha was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Xzavier Cagide didn't get a good kick on the ball. Wakanteis SC's Ramos Taranco shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 77th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Urre Melendez but with some difficulty. 85 minutes into the game, Unax Portas was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Wakanteis SC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Udusha the free kick. After 86 played minutes Wakanteis SC got a freekick which was hit by Unax Portas. Juan-Carlos Mendez's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Veto Tofiño read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 87th minute of play. Hugo Hostos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 89th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Veto Tofiño having to interfere. During the 90th minute of the match Unax Portas completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Unax Portas a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. In the 91st minute, Unax Portas hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Juan-Carlos Mendez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Wakanteis SC players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
