Jacou
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mohamed-Ali Desnos kicked off to start the match. With 5 minutes on the clock, Baptiste Huon commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 5th minute of the game. One of Jacou:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Parence:s goal. Oscar Deal shot the penalty kick right outside the post. Antonin Caulier received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Mamadou Lavenant tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Parence's Rémy Thil got a free kick in the 13th minute. A collision led to Parence getting a freekick after 14 minutes play. Rémy Thil hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 17th minute, Fabrice Noury managed to get in a good position for a shot. Parence's supporters rose to their feet, but Fabrice Noury was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Adil Latchimy breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 18th minute, Antonin Caulier ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Mamadou Lavenant was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. An unexpected shot in the 23rd minute by Antonin Caulier got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Maurice Florès hit a great freekick 26 minutes into the match. Antonin Caulier in the 28thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Mamadou Lavenant, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. In the 29th minute, Rémy Thil hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience thought a goal was coming when Franz Lecœuvre got free with Mamadou Lavenant in the 34th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When Antonin Caulier came up free with the goalie in the 35th minute, the Jacou 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 Antonin Caulier couldn't finish the play. With a little luck, Parence's Mamadou Lavenant got control of the ball when Antonin Caulier tried to sneak it across the goal line. Yann Pincemin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mamadou Lavenant read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 39th minute of play. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Antonin Caulier to strike the kick off in the second half. Parence's Mamadou Lavenant played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hercule Milleville in the 53rd minute of play. Yann Pincemin struck a weak shot in the 54th minute. Mamadou Lavenant didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Jacou. 58 minutes into the match, Fabrice Noury notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Jacou's Adil Latchimy. Adil Latchimy was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Hercule Milleville received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 61st minute. Mamadou Lavenant tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Yann Pincemin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 64th match minute, Parence was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mohamed-Ali Desnos to maneuver through the defense. Yann Pincemin blasted a shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Mamadou Lavenant having to make a save. After a rather tough play, Parence's Brandon Nicaise got a free kick in the 67th minute. Adil Latchimy made a fantastic save in the 70th minute, when Fabrice Noury sent off a good shot on target. An unexpectedly hard shot by Yann Pincemin in the 71st minute of play forced Parence's goalkeeper Mamadou Lavenant to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 77th minute, Rémy Thil hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Antonin Caulier fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mamadou Lavenant having to interfere. Hercule Milleville blasted a shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Mamadou Lavenant having to make a save. Antonin Caulier took the ball and in the 81 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mamadou Lavenant. Mamadou Lavenant dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. 87 minutes into the match, Jacou's goalkeeper Adil Latchimy had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Fabrice Noury. After 88 minutes of play, Jacou's Erwan Hoareau made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Mamadou Lavenant was left in no man's land by his defense there! There was no doubt that Jacou were the better team. Jacou's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
