League Play-Off

Sacanta
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Desiderio Veto got the match started through his kick off. Federico Seguinus who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 5thth minute tested the skills of Rogelio Celino when he managed to save the team from getting behind. When Federico Seguinus came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the Sacanta 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 Federico Seguinus couldn't finish the play. Gerardo Sandalio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rogelio Celino having to interfere. With an all-out effort, Sacanta AFC's Rogelio Celino threw himself towards the right post 12 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Gerardo Sandalio, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Tobias Rito kicked well hit freekick during the 16th minute of the match. 20 minutes into the match, Desiderio Veto had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Siro Eliazar. Sacanta AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Desiderio Veto was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After 30 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Sacanta AFC! Augusto Martxot sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 36th minute the ball was on its way in behind Sacanta AFC's goalkeeper Siro Eliazar, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Augusto Martxot had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Augusto Martxot sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 43rd minute, Gerardo Sandalio reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Rogelio Celino. The goal made the score 1-2. Rogelio Celino showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gerardo Sandalio, who was totally free with the ball in the 48th minute. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Gerardo Sandalio was the one to do the kick off. 52 minutes into the game, Sacanta AFC's Federico Seguinus nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Rogelio Celino made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-2. 60 minutes into the game, Eleuterio Quintin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Tala's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Sacanta AFC the free kick. After a rather tough play, Tala's Eleuterio Quintin got a free kick in the 60th minute. Desiderio Veto had several of the Sacanta AFC's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 62 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-3 score and a disappointed Siro Eliazar as he didn't even see the shot coming. Desiderio Veto might have been able to make a better finish in the 68th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Siro Eliazar. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Desiderio Veto ran back to his position shaking his head. Gerardo Sandalio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Everyone was convinced a goal was close when Tala's Desiderio Veto in the 74th minute lifted the ball towards the upper right corner, but Siro Eliazar was perfectly placed and prevented a goal for Sacanta AFC through an amazing save. 77 minutes into the match, Sacanta AFC's goalkeeper Siro Eliazar had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Augusto Martxot. After 83 played minutes Tala got a freekick which was hit by Santo Leocadio. In the 85th minute of the match Tobias Rito sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Rogelio Celino skillfully saved the ball. If Federico Seguinus had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 92 minutes into the match, Sacanta AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Desiderio Veto came free, but Siro Eliazar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
