Today is the day. The beginning of the Playoff "Division di Honor", let's evaluate the teams that made it to the semifinals.
This is a tournament reserved only for the best. A exclusive club of only 4 teams. Like a good poker game, the team that uses his hand of cards correctly shall be victorious. Each team will bring their best of the best in order to place themselves in history.

RCA is the defending champions and has also added a Betico Croes Cup to their resume. Considered as the most successful soccer team of AVB history with 28 championship titles, the red, white and blue of Solito are ready to defend their title. RCA was the first team to qualify and stands atop the standings solid with 44 points.

Head coach Veron Albertz, last year one his first title as a head coach after guiding the team to 3 finals. Ale Aparicio the captain of RCA together with Ronald Gomez are the leaders on the field. The offense of RCA has produced a total of 58 goals during the regular season from which Steven Rua scored a total of 14 goals on his own account and Erik Santos follows him with 8 goals.

The two players are considered the lethal one-two punch, and if these two players can find each other on the field RCA can be a team hard to beat.
RCA also has the defense that has allowed the least amount of goals by only allowing 13 goals in 18 games played.
A very young team and with various types of attack, they are ready to take home another title.

RCA opens the Playoffs 2012 today against the Orange Power of Santa Cruz, Estrella. During the regular season they splitted the results each one winning a game. One of the only two defeats this season for RCA came at the hand of Estrella. A optimistic RCA head coach Veron Albertsz said during the press conference: "RCA has a solid base of players, we know all teams will come to compete. Last year I went to battle with the team against a couple of old rats and we came out victorious."

Everyone is invited out tonight as the doors of the stadium open at 6:30pm and game is scheduled to start at 8:00pm.

Broadcast of the game will be on iTV Channel 49 and live streaming on www.avbaruba.aw
