League Play-Off

Stade Gorra
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Valentin Lasson made the kick off which started today's match. 6 minutes into the game, Pierre Arab was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Gorra's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Lèque the free kick. Brian Villeret sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Gorra's Brandon Guichet played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yannick Lestage in the 10th minute of play. If Valentin Lasson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpected shot in the 17th minute by Jean-Baptiste Beliard got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Through an outstanding action, after 18 minutes, Cyril Coudert successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Cyril Coudert made an important save on a dangerous shot by Jean-Baptiste Beliard in the 19th minute. Brandon Guichet took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Yannick Lestage, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 29 minutes, Jean-Baptiste Beliard managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Gorra's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jean-Baptiste Beliard was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Gorra's Jean-Baptiste Beliard got a free kick in the 32nd minute. Yannick Lestage fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Brandon Guichet having to interfere. Jean-Baptiste Beliard was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 38th minute. Gorra's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Jean-Baptiste Beliard could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 41st minute of the match, but Cyril Coudert made a huge save. Valentin Lasson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Jean-Baptiste Beliard succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 47th playminute. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

Valentin Lasson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cyril Coudert having to interfere. In the 60th minute Yannick Lestage shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Brandon Guichet saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Yannick Lestage in the 61st minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Brandon Guichet prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Cyril Coudert showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Valentin Lasson in the 66th minute of the match. Cesar Tastet kicked well hit freekick during the 68th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Lèque's zone, Jean-Baptiste Beliard stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Cyril Coudert came out of the goal and Jean-Baptiste Beliard tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jean-Baptiste Beliard's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Cyril Coudert read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 79th minute of play. A collision led to Lèque getting a freekick after 82 minutes play. Cesar Tastet hit a great ball. 88 minutes into the match, Lèque's Yannick Lestage sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Brandon Guichet narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Brian Villeret could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 90th minute of the match, but Brandon Guichet made a huge save. Brian Villeret fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Brandon Guichet having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 98th minute, Yannick Lestage managed to get in a good position for a shot. Lèque's supporters rose to their feet, but Yannick Lestage was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Brandon Guichet breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Gorra were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Lèque for a fine match.
