League Play-Off

Yofré
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alfonso Abaurre started the match with the kick off. Teobaldo Indalecio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Rafael Harkaitz kicked well hit freekick during the 5th minute of the match. When Anastasio Behe came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the Covunco 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 Anastasio Behe couldn't finish the play. Anastasio Behe struck a weak shot in the 8th minute. Apolo Solustiano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Covunco. Covunco's Ciriaco Federigo got a good chance for a goal in the 10th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Apolo Solustiano showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ciriaco Federigo, who was totally free with the ball in the 13th minute. In the 15th minute of the match Maximino Jesco shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Apolo Solustiano showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Flavio Firmo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Lucio Sadurni tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 26 minutes into the game, Yofré AFC's Flavio Firmo nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Lucio Sadurni made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. Apolo Solustiano took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ciriaco Federigo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 32 minutes, Alfonso Abaurre managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Yofré AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alfonso Abaurre was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Apolo Solustiano came out of the goal in the 36th minute to try and stop a shot by Covunco's Anastasio Behe. But to his dismay, Anastasio Behe quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. 47 minutes into the match, Anastasio Behe had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Apolo Solustiano. Yofré AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Anastasio Behe was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ciriaco Federigo made a kick off. In the 54th minute Ciriaco Federigo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Apolo Solustiano saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Covunco getting a freekick after 56 minutes play. Teobaldo Indalecio hit a great ball. The supporters of Yofré AFC booed when Covunco was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Wilfredo Karlo didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 62nd minute, Alfonso Abaurre 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. Ciriaco Federigo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 67th minute, Ciriaco Federigo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Covunco's supporters rose to their feet, but Ciriaco Federigo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Apolo Solustiano breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Ciriaco Federigo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With his leg Apolo Solustiano managed to avoid a goal in the 75thth minute, when Covunco's Anastasio Behe fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. 77 minutes into the match, Yofré AFC's goalkeeper Apolo Solustiano had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Anastasio Behe. Leonides Chuan charged in rather forcefully in the 84th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Leonides Chuan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 84th minute, Leonides Chuan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ladislao Eufemio took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 85th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Apolo Solustiano. Yofré AFC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Flavio Firmo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 88th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lucio Sadurni having to interfere. In the 94th minute, Yofré AFC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Anastasio Behe fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. The Covunco players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
