League Play-Off

Estadio Cachitambo
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Maximiliano Coque kicked off to start the match. Xilo Sabon showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Maximiliano Coque in the 9th minute of the match. The supporters of Uchupucun booed when UD Cachitambo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 9 match minutes in a wonderful position. Roque Zamarripa didn't get a good kick on the ball. 17 minutes into the game, Uchupucun's Maximiliano Coque nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Xilo Sabon made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. 20 minutes into the game, Roque Zamarripa was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. UD Cachitambo's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Uchupucun the free kick. After 20 played minutes UD Cachitambo got a freekick which was hit by Roque Zamarripa. Teo Caldevilla was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 21st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. UD Cachitambo's Paredes Espada got a good chance for a goal in the 23rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Joffre Valera had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Uchupucun's zone, Paredes Espada stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Quiróz Barga came out of the goal and Paredes Espada tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 28 minutes into the match, Uchupucun's goalkeeper Quiróz Barga had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Joffre Valera. David Alcedo hit a great freekick 34 minutes into the match. After recieving a nice pass, UD Cachitambo's Espinoza Albiz tried to score from far away in the 35th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. 42 minutes into the match, Uchupucun's goal looked a bit too open when Paredes Espada came free, but Quiróz Barga reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 48 minutes into the match, Xurxo Nafarrate notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of UD Cachitambo's Xilo Sabon. Xilo Sabon was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Paredes Espada was the one to do the kick off. Santos Vaz charged in rather forcefully in the 54th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Santos Vaz the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Xurxo Nafarrate struck a weak shot in the 57th minute. Xilo Sabon didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Uchupucun. 60 minutes into the match, Xurxo Nafarrate notched a goal, 0-3, to the right of UD Cachitambo's Xilo Sabon. Xilo Sabon was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Joffre Valera had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Urti Trasmiera's late challenge caught a UD Cachitambo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Urti Trasmiera helped the player get up and apologised. When Paredes Espada came up free with the goalie in the 71st minute, the UD Cachitambo 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 Paredes Espada couldn't finish the play. Xilo Sabon showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Maximiliano Coque in the 77th minute of the match. Quiróz Barga showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Joffre Valera in the 84th minute of the match. Uchupucun's Quiróz Barga played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Paredes Espada in the 86th minute of play. 89 minutes into the game, Xinaro Braña was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. UD Cachitambo's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Uchupucun the free kick. Maximiliano Coque might have been able to make a better finish in the 91st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Xilo Sabon. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Maximiliano Coque ran back to his position shaking his head. Roque Zamarripa was shown his second yellow card after 94 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. Xurxo Nafarrate fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Xilo Sabon having to interfere. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Uchupucun had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
