League Play-Off

Estadio Mainque
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Hector Mendebal got the match started through his kick off. 4 minutes into the match, Mainque's Leandro Lorien sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gustavo Sendoa narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Orlando Evangelista fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gustavo Sendoa having to interfere. Mario Cordarius recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 16th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 20 minutes into the match, Mario Cordarius had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rodolfo Lorien. Mainque's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mario Cordarius was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Gustavo Sendoa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Leandro Lorien in the 24th minute of play. When Hector Mendebal came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Pachimoco 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 Hector Mendebal couldn't finish the play. Mario Cordarius sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 32 played minutes Mainque got a freekick which was hit by Elvio Artizar. Gonzalo Sanchez kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. Rodolfo Lorien showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mario Cordarius, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute. In the 44th minute the ball was on its way in behind Pachimoco's goalkeeper Gustavo Sendoa, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After 46 minutes of play, Mainque's Orlando Evangelista made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Gustavo Sendoa was left in no man's land by his defense there!

The wind increased when Leandro Lorien made the kick off in the second half. If Orlando Evangelista had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Orlando Evangelista received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Gustavo Sendoa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mainque's Rodolfo Lorien proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 66th minute of the match, managed to save Mainque from getting a goal against them. Orlando Evangelista fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gustavo Sendoa having to interfere. Hector Mendebal struck a weak shot in the 79th minute. Rodolfo Lorien didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pachimoco. Leandro Lorien fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 85th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gustavo Sendoa having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Orlando Evangelista in the 88th minute of play forced Pachimoco's goalkeeper Gustavo Sendoa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Geronimo Benet's late challenge caught a Pachimoco's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Geronimo Benet helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Pachimoco booed when Mainque was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Geronimo Benet didn't get a good kick on the ball. Mario Cordarius might have been able to make a better finish in the 93rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Rodolfo Lorien. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Mario Cordarius ran back to his position shaking his head.
