League Play-Off

Estadio Saladero
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 3 minutes into the match, Linkin Maiik FC's goalkeeper Clodoveo Ermengol had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Valentin Florin. If Rene Madeo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 16th minute, Oscar Pitin 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. 20 minutes into the game, Arnulfo Panfilo cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Felipe Santio was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 26th minute Arnulfo Panfilo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felipe Santio saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 30 minutes into the match, Arnulfo Panfilo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Felipe Santio. Saladero AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Arnulfo Panfilo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Arnulfo Panfilo blasted a shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Felipe Santio having to make a save. After 35 minutes of play, Linkin Maiik FC's Oscar Pitin made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Felipe Santio was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 40th minute of the match Ernesto Raymon shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Clodoveo Ermengol showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 45th minute, Arnulfo Panfilo left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Linkin Maiik FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-4. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-4 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Valentin Florin to make the kick off. If Oscar Pitin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Rene Madeo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 54th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Oscar Pitin took the ball and in the 60 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Felipe Santio. Felipe Santio dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-5. Linkin Maiik FC's Arnulfo Panfilo got a good chance for a goal in the 64th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. A hard shot 68 in the game by Oscar Pitin from a close distance when the talented Felipe Santio managed to make a qualified save. Saladero AFC's players were relieved. After 74th play minutes Oscar Pitin shot 0-6, a short shot which went by Felipe Santio and just under the crossbar into goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 89th minute, Oscar Pitin managed to get in a good position for a shot. Linkin Maiik FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Oscar Pitin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Felipe Santio breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Oscar Pitin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Felipe Santio having to interfere. Felipe Santio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Arnulfo Panfilo, who was totally free with the ball in the 93rd minute. When the final whistle sounded Linkin Maiik FC left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Saladero AFC.
