League Play-Off

Stade Avouzon
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ahmid Saget started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute of the match, Ahmid Saget tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Stanislas Anselme saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Nelson Kowalczyk scored 1-0 in the 6th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Stanislas Anselme, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Émile Caby had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hamza Very received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Émile Le Duc tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Émile Caby had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Émile Caby sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Émile Caby fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Émile Le Duc having to interfere. After 27 played minutes Avouzon got a freekick which was hit by Nelson Kowalczyk. In the 30th minute, Émile Caby got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Émile Le Duc didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Hamza Very went, in the 33rd minute, to the upper right corner, 2-1 was the resulting score. Charles Engel struck a weak shot in the 37th minute. Stanislas Anselme didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Avouzon. Hamza Very might have been able to make a better finish in the 38th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Émile Le Duc. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Hamza Very ran back to his position shaking his head. 39 minutes into the game, Roland Arbogast was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Avouzon's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Roubaix the free kick. After a rather tough play, Avouzon's Roland Arbogast got a free kick in the 39th minute. Hamza Very fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Émile Le Duc having to interfere. In the 47th minute Hamza Very shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Émile Le Duc saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Hamza Very stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Avouzon's Ahmid Saget in the 61st minute got a chance for a shot 61st didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Roubaix's goalie prevented a goal. Charles Engel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 69th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ahmid Saget in the 72nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Stanislas Anselme saved Roubaix from getting behind. Roubaix's Hamza Very got a good chance for a goal in the 73rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 80 minutes of play, Avouzon's Ahmid Saget made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Stanislas Anselme was left in no man's land by his defense there! When Nelson Kowalczyk was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 88 minutes had been played. 90 minutes into the game, Alex Broux was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Avouzon's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Roubaix the free kick. A collision led to Avouzon getting a freekick after 90 minutes play. Alex Broux hit a great ball. With his leg Émile Le Duc managed to avoid a goal in the 92ndth minute, when Roubaix's Émile Caby fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Avouzon had won after a very even match.
