League Play-Off

Estadio Mansupa
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Patricio Efren kicked off to start the match. With a little luck, Aldao's Alfredo Urko got control of the ball when Ramon Pacho tried to sneak it across the goal line. Jaime Polo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Patricio Efren fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alfredo Urko having to interfere. In the 13th minute Patricio Efren shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alfredo Urko saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Silvano Tancredo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jaime Polo, who was totally free with the ball in the 17th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Aldao's zone, Ramon Pacho stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Alfredo Urko came out of the goal and Ramon Pacho tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Valentin Pasqual came up free with the goalie in the 22nd minute, the Aldao 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 Valentin Pasqual couldn't finish the play. Silvano Tancredo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jaime Polo in the 24th minute of play. Silvano Tancredo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Joaquin Confesor, who was totally free with the ball in the 26th minute. Joaquin Confesor received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Silvano Tancredo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jaime Polo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Vinicio Platon's late challenge caught a Mansupa's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Vinicio Platon helped the player get up and apologised. After 35 played minutes Aldao got a freekick which was hit by Vinicio Platon. In the 36th minute Patricio Efren shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alfredo Urko saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 37th minute, Ramon Pacho got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Joaquin Confesor had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jaime Polo 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. Aldao's Vinicio Platon pulled a muscle in his back after 41 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Teodosio Eusko charged in rather forcefully in the 42nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Teodosio Eusko the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 43rd minute, Teodosio Eusko hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Leon Leoncio, 43 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Mansupa's Silvano Tancredo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jaime Polo in the 47th minute of play.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Jaime Polo to make the kick off. Patricio Efren recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 51st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Jaime Polo's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Silvano Tancredo firmly grabbed it by the left post. After a rather tough play, Mansupa's Aldo Rito got a free kick in the 57th minute. With a little luck, Mansupa's Silvano Tancredo got control of the ball when Jaime Polo tried to sneak it across the goal line. 63 minutes into the match, Aldao's goal looked a bit too open when Patricio Efren came free, but Alfredo Urko reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ramon Pacho's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Alfredo Urko read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 66th minute of play. A collision led to Aldao getting a freekick after 66 minutes play. Valentin Pasqual hit a great ball. If Ramon Pacho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jaime Polo blasted a shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Silvano Tancredo having to make a save. In the 86th minute, Ramon Pacho made a precise shot to the right of Alfredo Urko. Aldao's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. In the 91st minute, Ricardo Vermudo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Patricio Efren fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alfredo Urko having to interfere.
