League Play-Off

Estadio Talati
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Urbano Rodriguez started the match with the kick off. When Silvestre Abeitia fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Talati's protests and gave Silvestre Abeitia a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Talati's Silvestre Abeitia got a free kick in the 3rd minute. 8 minutes into the match, Tala FC's goalkeeper Amadeo Oskitz had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Anibal Niguel. Amadeo Oskitz made a fantastic save in the 10th minute, when Anibal Niguel sent off a good shot on target. Leo Petri fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fausto Beat having to interfere. Silvestre Abeitia was shown his second yellow card after 19 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. After 23 minutes, Adrian Raymundo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tala FC and the Talati players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 23rd minute, Adrian Raymundo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 34 minutes into the match, Talati's goal looked a bit too open when Urbano Rodriguez came free, but Fausto Beat reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some careless play in the Talati defense, Urbano Rodriguez kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Fausto Beat. The Talati fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Fausto Beat should have stopped the shot. The audience thought a goal was coming when Anibal Niguel got free with Amadeo Oskitz in the 40th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Fausto Beat showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Urbano Rodriguez in the 43rd minute of the match. If Urbano Rodriguez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Anibal Niguel stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Urbano Rodriguez came up free with the goalie in the 57th minute, the Tala 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 Urbano Rodriguez couldn't finish the play. 61 minutes had been played when some careless play by Tala FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Vladimiro Bernabel was slow to take the kick. During this time Talati's players had a chance to rest. Clemente Orlandus struck a weak shot in the 63rd minute. Amadeo Oskitz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Talati. Anibal Niguel took the ball and in the 64 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Amadeo Oskitz. Amadeo Oskitz dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. Anibal Niguel succeeded in the game's 74th minute to shoot an unreachable shot under the crossbar and scored - 3-1. Tala FC's Amadeo Oskitz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nereo Milio in the 79th minute of play. Urbano Rodriguez might have been able to make a better finish in the 80th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Fausto Beat. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Urbano Rodriguez ran back to his position shaking his head. Tala FC's Urbano Rodriguez got a good chance for a goal in the 87th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. A collision led to Tala FC getting a freekick after 88 minutes play. Manuel Sotil hit a great ball. Talati's Nereo Milio suffered a sore thigh after 92 minutes and couldn't finish the game. The supporters of Talati booed when Tala FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 93 match minutes in a wonderful position. Angelo Tomi didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 94th minute, Vladimiro Bernabel sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Tala FC's Amadeo Oskitz didn't even have to move. In the 98th minute Anibal Niguel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Amadeo Oskitz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Talati were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Tala FC for a fine match.
