Estadio Uribelarrea
Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Frank Peletier made the kick off which started today's match. 6 minutes into the match, Uribelarrea's goal looked a bit too open when Camille Baume came free, but Paata Fillol reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 9 minutes had been played when some careless play by Uribelarrea's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. David Barbier was slow to take the kick. During this time France's players had a chance to rest. The corner led France's Quentin Beaux to fire away a dangerous shot which Paata Fillol despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. 13 minutes into the match, Lucas Beltxe had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Maxime Durand. France's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Lucas Beltxe was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. The supporters of France booed when Uribelarrea was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. 郑宁广 didn't get a good kick on the ball. 19 minutes into the game, France's Camille Baume nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Paata Fillol made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. In the 26th minute, 郑宁广 left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Uribelarrea fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1. Frank Peletier sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. France's Maxime Durand played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Robustiano Gabrio in the 33rd minute of play. In the 37th match minute, Uribelarrea was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gogo Dominix to maneuver through the defense. In the 39th minute Remy Dupuy shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Paata Fillol saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Paata Fillol made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Frank Peletier in the 42nd minute of play. When the match clock showed 44 minutes, the score became 2-2 when Camille Baume sped through Uribelarrea's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Paata Fillol. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Lucas Beltxe made a kick off. After having played for 52 minutes, Lucas Beltxe managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Uribelarrea's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lucas Beltxe was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 54 minutes into the match, France's goal looked a bit too open when Robustiano Gabrio came free, but Maxime Durand reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Robert Chapuis blasted a shot towards the goal in the 56th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Paata Fillol having to make a save. The referee felt a red card was in order, 57 minutes into the game, when Silvano Rufo put in a rough tackle. After 57 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Uribelarrea! David Barbier placed the ball on the penalty spot and got himself ready to shoot. Post out! Uribelarrea's Paata Fillol proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 62nd minute of the match, managed to save Uribelarrea from getting a goal against them. Paata Fillol made a fantastic save in the 68th minute, when Frank Peletier sent off a good shot on target. Camille Baume could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 74th minute of the match, but Paata Fillol made a huge save. In the 79th minute, France's Camille Baume ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Paata Fillol. Paata Fillol yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 2-3. A collision led to Uribelarrea getting a freekick after 84 minutes play. Wilfredo Erramu hit a great ball. In the 95th minute Remy Dupuy shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Paata Fillol saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The France supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing France would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
