League Play-Off

Estadio Dolores
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Gaston Valery kicked off to start the match. Gaston Valery was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 5th minute. Dolores's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Cirilo Manex took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gaston Valery, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Cirilo Manex was out of position in the 6 minute of play, and Ignacio Xacintu capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Ignacio Xacintu really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Gaston Valery in the 11th minute of play forced Pilar AFC's goalkeeper Cirilo Manex to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 14th minute, Ceferino Giro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 15th minute Raimundo Ferman shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Modesto Terciero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Raimundo Ferman in the 17th minute of play forced Dolores's goalkeeper Modesto Terciero to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ceferino Giro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Cirilo Manex tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Anibal Etxekopar kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match. Dolores's Jimeno Canor couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Pilar AFC. Raimundo Ferman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Modesto Terciero having to interfere. Through an outstanding action, after 32 minutes, Cirilo Manex successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. In the 42nd match minute, Pilar AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Anibal Etxekopar to maneuver through the defense. Ignacio Xacintu struck a weak shot in the 44th minute. Cirilo Manex didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Dolores. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Roberto Canor to make the kick off. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ignacio Xacintu in the 56th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Cirilo Manex saved Pilar AFC from getting behind. Raimundo Ferman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Modesto Terciero having to interfere. If Ignacio Xacintu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 67 minutes into the match, Pilar AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Gaston Valery came free, but Cirilo Manex reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Raimundo Ferman could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 72nd minute of the match, but Modesto Terciero made a huge save. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Roberto Canor in the 76th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Modesto Terciero prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After a rather tough play, Dolores's Erubiel Goren got a free kick in the 77th minute. After having played for 95 minutes, Gaston Valery managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Dolores's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gaston Valery was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Roberto Canor in the 97th minute of play forced Dolores's goalkeeper Modesto Terciero to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Dolores fans cheered their team off the field, for while Pilar AFC had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
