League Play-Off

Susana
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Geronimo Estavan took the kick off in the first half of the match. Zavalía AFC's Moises Gerazan proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 3rd minute of the match, managed to save Zavalía AFC from getting a goal against them. After having played for 5 minutes, Geronimo Estavan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Zavalía AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Geronimo Estavan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 6 played minutes Zavalía AFC got a freekick which was hit by Emilio Loramendi. Jonatan Lorenz's shot from long distance in the 7th minute was not bad at all, but Zavalía AFC's Moises Gerazan knew what was happening and pushed the ball into his arms just before it hit the right post. When Dalmacio Macerio came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Zavalía AFC 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 Dalmacio Macerio couldn't finish the play. Cosme Argina sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The attack was good, but when Geronimo Estavan in the 12th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Cosme Argina recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After having played for 18 minutes, Genaro Guifre managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Susana's supporters crossed their fingers, but Genaro Guifre was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 21 minutes, Bonifacio Txordon mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Susana and the Zavalía AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Susana getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Bonifacio Txordon hit a great ball. When Zavalía AFC's Geronimo Estavan in the 23rd minute got a chance for a shot 23rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Susana's goalie prevented a goal. After some careless play in the Susana defense, Cosme Argina kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Blas Garcia. The Susana fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Blas Garcia should have stopped the shot. Moises Gerazan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Celestino Bastiaro in the 28th minute of play. If Bonifacio Txordon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The long shot by Jonatan Lorenz in the 40th minute really tested Moises Gerazan's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Leo Abella's late challenge caught a Susana's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Leo Abella helped the player get up and apologised. Leo Abella hit a great freekick 40 minutes into the match. When Celestino Bastiaro, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 43 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Moises Gerazan was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. After the first half Zavalía AFC were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Celestino Bastiaro to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 51st match minute, Zavalía AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eriberto Quintun to maneuver through the defense. Zavalía AFC's Moises Gerazan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Celestino Bastiaro in the 52nd minute of play. Geronimo Estavan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 54th minute. Blas Garcia tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Celestino Bastiaro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Clemente Martxot charged in rather forcefully in the 70th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Clemente Martxot the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Dalmacio Macerio struck a weak shot in the 74th minute. Blas Garcia didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Zavalía AFC. A collision led to Susana getting a freekick after 75 minutes play. Baldomero Lertxun hit a great ball. Cosme Argina fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Blas Garcia having to interfere. Cosme Argina sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 90th minute Bonifacio Txordon shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Moises Gerazan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 98th minute the ball was on its way in behind Susana's goalkeeper Blas Garcia, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When the final whistle sounded Zavalía AFC left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Susana.
