Stade des Indignés
Spectators: 7989 (Terracing: 5993, Seating: 1837, VIP seats: 159) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Jarl Vallengren made the kick off which started today's match. If Yoann Gâtignol had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 2nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Momo Boumedienne came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the LA RABIA DEL PUEBLO 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 Momo Boumedienne couldn't finish the play. 7 minutes into the game, Momo Boumedienne cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Gunnar Jakobsson was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Momo Boumedienne could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 13th minute of the match, but Gunnar Jakobsson made a huge save. After 15 played minutes LA RABIA DEL PUEBLO got a freekick which was hit by Cheikh Fauche. 23 minutes into the match, Jarl Fredriksson notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of LA RABIA DEL PUEBLO's Batiste Baudron. Batiste Baudron was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Gunnar Jakobsson stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Momo Boumedienne's shot from short distance in the 27th minute. In the 30th minute, Cheikh Fauche hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 32 minutes into the game, Gert Österberg was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Xentrias's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave LA RABIA DEL PUEBLO the free kick. Gert Österberg hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. The supporters of LA RABIA DEL PUEBLO booed when Xentrias was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 33 match minutes in a wonderful position. Albert Åberg didn't get a good kick on the ball. LA RABIA DEL PUEBLO's Yoann Gâtignol got a good chance for a goal in the 34th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 42nd minute Jarl Fredriksson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Batiste Baudron saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Momo Boumedienne got free with Gunnar Jakobsson in the 45th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 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 Žan Matto made a kick off. In the 52nd minute, Yoann Gâtignol hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Jarl Fredriksson in the 54th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Batiste Baudron saved LA RABIA DEL PUEBLO from getting behind. 56 minutes into the match, Jarl Fredriksson dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Batiste Baudron, 1-2. Gunnar Jakobsson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Momo Boumedienne, who was totally free with the ball in the 59th minute. In the 64th match minute, Xentrias was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Aaron Kullgren to maneuver through the defense. In the 69th minute Gaétan Cren shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gunnar Jakobsson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Xentrias's Gunnar Jakobsson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Momo Boumedienne in the 71st minute of play. The throw-in from Philibert Boissinot in the 75th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Xentrias's Oskar Haraldsson. After 78 played minutes LA RABIA DEL PUEBLO got a freekick which was hit by Gilles Le Bouédec. In the 79th minute Albert Åberg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Batiste Baudron saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Batiste Baudron took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jarl Fredriksson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 91 minutes into the match, Xentrias's goal looked a bit too open when Momo Boumedienne came free, but Gunnar Jakobsson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Momo Boumedienne in the 93rd minute of play forced Xentrias's goalkeeper Gunnar Jakobsson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Xentrias succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though LA RABIA DEL PUEBLO had controlled the match.
