League Play-Off

Tostado
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Rafael Caitano kicked off to start the match. Sixto Felo might have been able to make a better finish in the 4th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Mauricio Oskarbi. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Sixto Felo ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 9th minute, Moises Herauso hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tostado AFC's Erubiel Ieltxu played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Manuel Pancho in the 11th minute of play. Cipriano Chus recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 13th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 17 minutes into the match, ARSENAL FC's Manuel Pancho sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Erubiel Ieltxu narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 20 played minutes, ARSENAL FC's Lorenzo Asteri shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Erubiel Ieltxu came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in ARSENAL FC reached it. Sixto Felo hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. After 37 minutes, Melquiades Mero mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ARSENAL FC and the Tostado AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 37 played minutes ARSENAL FC got a freekick which was hit by Melquiades Mero. After a rather tough play, ARSENAL FC's Guillermo Tauro got a free kick in the 41st minute. Edgard Guifre sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Edgard Guifre stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Joaquin Chayo in the 52nd minute of play forced ARSENAL FC's goalkeeper Mauricio Oskarbi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Cipriano Chus in the 54th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Mauricio Oskarbi prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Melquiades Mero took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 57th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Erubiel Ieltxu. Tostado AFC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. If Manuel Pancho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Manuel Pancho recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 63rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Tostado AFC's Cipriano Chus in the 66th minute got a chance for a shot 66th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye ARSENAL FC's goalie prevented a goal. 70 minutes into the match, Tostado AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Rafael Caitano came free, but Erubiel Ieltxu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Edgard Guifre in the 88th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Mauricio Oskarbi prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Edgard Guifre fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mauricio Oskarbi having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in ARSENAL FC's zone, Cipriano Chus stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mauricio Oskarbi came out of the goal and Cipriano Chus tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the Tostado AFC players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
