Yep your right
Esparragal 0 Mazarron FC 2
2 goals by Tolo, the first a spin in the 6 yard box giving the keeper no chance the second was a typical burst into the box his first shot was saved but with determination he picked up the rebound and sank it into the back of the net.
The icing on the cake would have been a third but Tolo was denied by an outstanding save after he burst into the box, beating three defenders but just couldn't finish it off.
12 players were booked, 6 from each side, but I can't remember a dirty foul!
So at half time, 90 minutes down and 90 minutes to go, we are 2-0 up with two away goals.

CD ESPARRAGAL 0 v MAZARRON FC 2
This report may differ from the game that you saw.
It was with some trepidation that a full away coach of Mazarron FC supporters traveled to watch the first leg of the play off final against CD Esparragal, after all Mazarron FC had lost both previous encounters this season but, and this is no cop out, both times Mazarron FC had to field five juveniles in the starting lineups due to injury, suspensions and work commitments. But this time it would be a different ball game with Mazarron fielding their strongest line up of the season. The only player of note missing was Andreo through a thigh injury.
The Esparragal ground soon filled up with local supporters who were confident of a win following the previous games against Beniajan which they had won at ease but the vocal Mazarron supporters continued to lift the team throughout the game.
I might be bias, I am, but this game was completely controlled throughout by an excellent Mazarron team performance. The defence marshalled by captain Juan Andreo, and since his return Mazarron have never lost a game, with Juan Lorca and Alfonso at his side they snuffed out any attacks that Esparragal could put together restricting them to long range and often well off target shots. A mid field ruled by Monti, Manu and Enrique and a forward line of Tolo supported by Santi, with Mateo acting as a sweeper.
I will say this about the Mazarron players, they don't dive and scream to attract bookings for opponents and to obtain free kicks, sadly this cannot be said about their opponents who took every opportunity to do a "dying swan" to gain an advantage. There were 12 bookings in this game but I can't remember a dirty foul.
After restricting the home site to long range efforts Mazarron adopted a familiar strategy, defended then hit on the counter attack through the excellent wing play of Sani or Monti who then looked for the leagues top scorer, with 38 or is it 39 goals so far this season, Tolo, who's pace and guile can beat any defence. And if they put three players on him, as often they do, it just leaves gaps for another Mazarron player to step up and score.
Esparragal's best and only clear chance came half way through the first half when, following a Mazarron attack the home side found themselves out numbering the away defenders by 3 to 1 but that one was Juan Andreo who "took one" for the team and broke up this rare opportunity for Esparragal by "disposing" the home side forward before putting him onto his ample behind.
The first goal materialised two minutes before half time, and what a time to score, when Mazarron counter attacked into the Esparragal penalty area. The ball was fed to Tolo who span on a sixpence, that's 2 1/2p in new money, and buried the ball into the back of the net.
Esparragal 0 Mazarron 1
Half time was soon blown but not without the home side bench becoming a bit physical with the Mazarron bench. Maybe they didn't think that the script should have gone as it did in the first 45 minutes, anyway two of their subs were booked.
The second half started with the home fans behind the Mazarron goal throwing articles at the vastly under employed Conejo in the away teams net. With the arrival of the local constabulary and Esparragal officials order was soon returned. In contrast the Mazarron supporters carried themselves in an exemplary manner.
Esparragal couldn't get near the Mazarron goal for long periods which led to frustration and some ugly tackling but the away team took this all in their stride and with Santi joining Tolo up front in a 4-4-2 formation they formed a potent strike duo.
And it was Santi who had the next great opportunity following a well crafted through ball from the under rated Lider who put the ball onto Santi's toe and it was only an exceptional save from the Esparragal keeper that prevented him from scoring. But that would not be the case for long.
Moments later Alfonso slid a lovely ball forward to Tolo who broke free of his three jailers to crack the ball home only to see it saved but always one ready for the unexpected Tolo gathered the rebound and slipped it under the stranded keeper
Esparragal 0 Mazarron 2
Mazarron then went hunting for that killer third goal with Monti being dragged down from behind in the box but had the indignity to be booked for simulation, a poor decision by the official. It was a clear penalty and red card in everyone's opinion who was wearing red.
Next up was Tolo looking for his hat trick. A through ball found him completely on his own but at least a yard off side which was missed by the linesman who was way behind the play, as usual, Tolo bore down on goal but over complicated his strike by trying to dribble passed the keeper who did well to save the eventual shot, perhaps justice was done.
Esparragal managed to muster a couple of late attacks but nothing of note and Conejo in goal wasn't troubled to much.
The final whistle was met with the Esparragal supporters leaving in droves whilst the Mazarron away fans stood and cheered and congratulated Tolo as their Man of the match.
Remember, this is only half time and Esparragal have proven in the past that they are a dangerous animal especially when wounded. But Mazarron are half way there to regaining their rightful place back in the Preferente next season.
Team
Conejo, Jan Lorca, Juan Andreo, Enrique, Alfonso, Lider, Tolo, Manu, Santi, Mateo, Monti.
Subs used: Diego, Juanillo. Toño

I have just spoken to Jose about a number of scenarios regarding the play off's. I'm sure that you will think of other permutations but here goes.
1 If Mazarron win. Mazarron are promoted. 2 If Esparragal win by one goal. Mazarron are promoted. 3 If Esparragal win by three goals, IE 0-3 Esparragal are promoted. 4 If the final score is 0-1. Mazarron are promoted. 5 If the final score is 1-1. Mazarron are promoted.
Now comes the fun
6 If the final score is 0-2. (2-2 on aggregate) Extra time, no penalties, away goals count as double if scores are level at the end of extra time. If everything is still level at the end of extra time Mazarron promoted due to final league position.
I repeat, NO PENALTY SHOOTOUT

EARLY TEAM NEWS PLUS OTHER BITS AND PIECES
Alfonso is struggling with a calf injury picked up at Esparragal and could miss the game.
Young Andreo is still recovering from a thigh injury caused in a none footballing situation and will play a 'cameo' role only on Sunday.
Everyone else is ready and raring to go.
Diego, our old captain, said at the veterans game that he is available for selection. These guys just don't know when to hang up their boots do they?
There is no sanction/suspensions published by the Murcian federation for this game so, besides injuries, both sides will be at full strength.
Prior to the game there will be a couple of presentations, one to the old couple who sit just in front of the canteen who have both been supporting Mazarron FC since their youth. Jose will present them with a suitable acknowledgement of their loyal support.
A further presentation will be made to the outstanding Mazarron juvenile player of the season by the supporters club.

In all the time that I have been following Mazarron CF/FC since the 2005/6 season up to present I have only witnessed two promotions.
2006/7 from the Tercera to Segunda B and tonight's great result.
I have witnessed 3 relegation, the team fold and have to be reformed. Seen dubious president after dubious club presidents come and go and I never thought that the day would ever come when we have a honest, open structure at our club with a future, a vision and team that we could be really proud of and support.
Well today everything that I have ever wish for in my local football team has come to pass.
Today was only the first step in returning Mazarron FC to its rightful place in the Spanish leagues, but I now think that together with Jose the club president, the club management, the players and especially the supporters, everything is in place to sustain Mazarron FC into the future.
I welcome all those new supporters along side the regulars attending today's match and hope to see them next season when we will need your support.
Vamos Mazarron FC

While we await the thoughts of Allan Jones and his match report here is a brief résumé of what happened.
Pior to the game Young Andreo was presented with a trophy marking his great achievements as a juvenile in the first team as well as the juvenile side.
Also a 'young Spanish couple' in their 90's were given a token of thanks for their loyal support to Mazarron CF/FC since they were teenagers by the football club.
And to mark his successful season Javi, the manager, was handed a bottle of his favourite malt whiskey.
Esparragal knew they were on a loser right from the start as Mazarron fought for every ball dispelling any thoughts that the home side thought that the 'job was done' But it was an intervention by the far linesman which brought the first decisive moment of the game.
The ref had given a curious free kick to Esparragal on the edge of the box near on the side near to the canteen. Esparragal put a big bloke on the near post who was initially covered by Enrique but Conejo took his place with defenders moving to protecting the line. I watched the interchange between the Esparragal forward and the Mazarron keeper and it wasn't pleasant with lots of elbows and Conejo being somewhat bullied. As the ball came over I saw the Esparragal forward, bring his arm forward then back into the keepers body. Conejo fell to the floor whist the ball was easily cleared upfield. Fortunately the linesman had also seen this assault and after a brief discussion the red card was shown and despite his denials off he trooped for an early shower, quite rightly so. And let's name this thug, FRANCISCO REGADERA CORTES.
A number of chances, mainly for Mazarron came and went until just before half time when Mazarron were awarded a penalty for a foul in the box. Up steps Tolo, only one result.
Mazarron 1 Esparragal 0
As the away side stormed of the pitch for half time the ref came under a torrent of verbal abuse by the away teams players and coaching staff.
The main action of the second half was a beautiful chip by substitute Juanillio but the keeper, who was way off his line, must have got a finger nail to it to push it just passed the post.
Monti hit a superb curling shot on the volley from the touch line which just went wide, Tolo hit the bar but the rebound was cleared. A number of opportunities for Tońo, Diego and others went begging before Tolo made it safe with a shot from the edge of the penalty area beating the keeper and despite a clearance by a defender our friendly linesman on the far side indicated that it crossed the line.
Mazarron FC 2 CD Esparragal 0
Whilst all this was going on Juan Andreu, Juan Lorca, Mateo and other defenders secured the back door hardly giving Esparragal a sniff of goal, that was until a slip by Juan Lorca let the left winger of Esparragal in with a chance which he duly burried into to the goal, but this was with minutes to go so not a great threat.
Mazarron FC 2 CD Esparragal 1
The final whistle was met with the crowd going wild and Mazarron promoted. The ref was led off the field by the local constabulary protecting him from irate Esparragal players.
I did witness one unpleasant scene at the end. Javi went to shake the hand of the Esarragal manager, he declined, poor loser.

To me from Les:
"The Esparragal Twitter feed complains about the officials! But they really lost the tie in the first leg"
To right mate, to right.

This is how Allan Jones saw the game.
Mazarron F C v C D Esparragal
Sunday 14th June 2015.
K-O 7pm.
Play Off Final 2nd Leg.
Team. Conejo Lorca Andreo Juan Andreo Enrique Liders Tolo Monty Manu Mateo Santi
Subs Carrasco Dani Diego Juanillo Antonio Clares Javi Tono.
And so the final match of the season arrives and the pitch looks remarkably green and there is a large crowd to see the game.
Mazarron got off to a better start than last week but soon Esparragal are up to their old tricks of play acting and complaining to the referee. They are of course a strong side and Mazarrons defence has to be at its best to deal with them.
Tolo continued to working hard up front with Monti with Loca doing a good shift at the back. The game took on a similar format to last week with Esparragal doing most of the pressing and Liders earning an early booking. In the 20th minute however the Mazarron goalkeeper is badly fouled and this is drawn to the referees attention by a linesman. The offending player was subsequently booked and sent off.
Esparragal now are down to ten men but still they surge forward and Liders (?) is booked in his efforts to stop them. Playing with one man less seems to make no difference to their team and Mazarron still have to work hard to contain them.
Five minutes before half-time following a run down the left hand side Monty is fouled in the the box and a penalty is awarded. Up steps Tolo to smash the ball into the net and send the crowd wild.
Score 1- 0 (3-0)
The final minutes of the half are played out with Esparragal still complainig and trying to con the officials with their various antics.
Half Time 1- 0 (3-0)
Mazarron made no changes for the start of the second half and Tolo has an early chance but is flagged offside. Esparragal continued to fight hard and Mazarron did not seem to be able to make the extra man tell. Conejo was called upon to make several good saves and this now spurs Mazarron into action when in the 67th minute a cross by Liders is smashed into the goal by Tolo. The goal is given only through the linesman being in a good position to signal a goal as the goalkeeper was claiming he had kept the ball out.
Score 2--0 (4-0)
Juanillo replaced Monty and Diego is on for Liders. Tolo then went searching for his hat-trick and brings several good saves out of the Esparragal keeper in quick succession. Toño then replaced Andreo and Mazarron start to get a little complacent but at 4 goals up I suppose it is natural. Howevever Esparragal are determined to go down fighting and pull a goal back through slack marking five minutes from the end.
2-1 (4-1)
The rest of the match is played out with Esparragal trying to get the equaliser and Mazarron determined to stop them. Mazarron suceed and the referee blows his whistle and the celebrations began
Final Score 2--1 (4-1)
Man of the Match Tolo
Summary A hard fought match, Preferente here we come.
