League Play-Off

Estadio Tacurales
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Nicanor Fortun took the kick off in the first half of the match. 3 minutes into the match, Tacurales's Arsenio Egun sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Carmelo Matai narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Natalio Palben sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 12th minute Natalio Palben shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Carmelo Matai saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 17th minute, Nicanor Fortun 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. Basilio Vincente took the ball and in the 18 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Baldomiro Pacifico. Baldomiro Pacifico 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. Baldomiro Pacifico took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nicanor Fortun, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Basilio Vincente had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 28 minutes into the match, Arsenio Egun had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Carmelo Matai. Comallo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Arsenio Egun was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Baldomiro Pacifico made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nicanor Fortun in the 32nd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Faustino Roderigo in the 34th minute of play forced Tacurales's goalkeeper Baldomiro Pacifico to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 39th minute, Delmar Edwardo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nicanor Fortun's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Baldomiro Pacifico read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 40th minute of play. Natalio Palben was extremely unlucky when he, in the 41st minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. The supporters of Comallo booed when Tacurales was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 46 match minutes in a wonderful position. Guido Macias didn't get a good kick on the ball.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Natalio Palben made a kick off. When Delmar Edwardo fell near the penalty area in the 53rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tacurales's protests and gave Delmar Edwardo a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Tacurales's Delmar Edwardo got a free kick in the 53rd minute. Baldomiro Pacifico took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nicanor Fortun, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Basilio Vincente fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Baldomiro Pacifico having to interfere. If Basilio Vincente had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 73 minutes of play Tacurales's Delmar Edwardo was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. Delmar Edwardo hit a great freekick 73 minutes into the match. Basilio Vincente received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. Baldomiro Pacifico tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ricardo Primo's late challenge caught a Comallo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ricardo Primo helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Tacurales's Ricardo Primo got a free kick in the 76th minute. Carmelo Matai showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Arsenio Egun, who was totally free with the ball in the 82nd minute. Nicanor Fortun sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Tacurales's Baldomiro Pacifico played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nicanor Fortun in the 94th minute of play. Basilio Vincente received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Baldomiro Pacifico tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Despite being the better team, Comallo failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
