League Play-Off

Estadio Tartagal
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) When Tiburcio Baristo came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the Stephenson FC 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 Tiburcio Baristo couldn't finish the play. 7 minutes into the match, Tartagal's Domingos Alvarez sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Lucas Abadie narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Tartagal's Nicanor Oskitz suffered a sore thigh after 9 minutes and couldn't finish the game. 9 minutes into the game, Filomeno Tonio was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Stephenson FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Tartagal the free kick. In the 13th play minute Domingos Alvarez came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Lucas Abadie. 1-0. Lucas Abadie made an important save on a dangerous shot by Domingos Alvarez in the 23rd minute. After having played for 24 minutes, Mauricio Manex managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tartagal's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mauricio Manex was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Genaro Belo came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the Stephenson FC 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 Genaro Belo couldn't finish the play. Filomeno Tonio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Andres Unax tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Filomeno Tonio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mauricio Manex kicked well hit freekick during the 46th minute of the match. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Genaro Belo was the one to do the kick off. With a little luck, Tartagal's Andres Unax got control of the ball when Filomeno Tonio tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 55th minute Domingos Alvarez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lucas Abadie saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Andres Unax showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Genaro Belo, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. 65 minutes into the match, Domingos Alvarez notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Stephenson FC's Lucas Abadie. Lucas Abadie was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Moises Delfino hit a great freekick 68 minutes into the match. After 76 minutes, Marcelino Tulio mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Stephenson FC and the Tartagal players grew even worse after the yellow card. Braulio Gutierrez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Andres Unax tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Genaro Belo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Filomeno Tonio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 92nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Andres Unax having to interfere. In the 94th minute, Moises Delfino hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Andres Unax came out of the goal in the 95th minute to try and stop a shot by Stephenson FC's Filomeno Tonio. But to his dismay, Filomeno Tonio quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-3.
