League Play-Off

Alvariño
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Aurelio Chesus started the match with the kick off. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Erubiel Emeterio in the 5th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Dionisio Herauso saved Alvariño from getting behind. When Octavio Froylan came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Alvariño 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 Octavio Froylan couldn't finish the play. Rigoberto Jerrold was a little too slow when Severiano Gartzen got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 15th minute. The score was now 1-0. Octavio Froylan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Rigoberto Jerrold tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Rodolfo Kelemen charged in rather forcefully in the 20th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Rodolfo Kelemen the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Alvariño getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Rodolfo Kelemen hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Erubiel Emeterio in the 27th minute of play forced Alvariño's goalkeeper Dionisio Herauso to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Severiano Gartzen got free with Rigoberto Jerrold in the 31st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When the match had gone on for 32 minutes, Severiano Gartzen took a quick shot and it went in 2-0 without a chance for Rigoberto Jerrold to make any attempt to save it. If Erubiel Emeterio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 39th minute, Aurelio Chesus made a precise shot to the right of Dionisio Herauso. Alvariño's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. Dario Karlo kicked well hit freekick during the 41st minute of the match. Severiano Gartzen struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Rigoberto Jerrold didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Alvariño. 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 2-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Octavio Froylan was the one to do the kick off. In the 54th minute, Aureliano Niguel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Octavio Froylan in the 63rd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Rigoberto Jerrold prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Erubiel Emeterio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Dionisio Herauso tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rodolfo Kelemen in the 70th minute of play forced Black Dragons F.C's goalkeeper Rigoberto Jerrold to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 72nd minute Severiano Gartzen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rigoberto Jerrold saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 77th minute, Erubiel Emeterio managed to get in a good position for a shot. Black Dragons F.C's supporters rose to their feet, but Erubiel Emeterio was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Dionisio Herauso breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Severiano Gartzen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 81 minutes, Severiano Gartzen managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Alvariño's supporters crossed their fingers, but Severiano Gartzen was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 83 minutes into the match, Black Dragons F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Octavio Froylan came free, but Rigoberto Jerrold reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
