League Play-Off

Flaxlanden
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Pierre-Antoine Cadinot kicked off to start the match. Pierre-Antoine Cadinot recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 6th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Jean Bellanger was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 8th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. A collision led to Flaxlanden getting a freekick after 9 minutes play. Harold Barde hit a great ball. In the 14th minute Pierre-Antoine Cadinot shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pacome Couffignal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 18th minute, Harold Barde hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pierre-Antoine Cadinot in the 19th minute of play forced Flaxlanden's goalkeeper Pacome Couffignal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Achille Douard's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Flavien Suc was relentless in the 26th minute of the game. After a rather tough play, Odomez's Jack Lescot got a free kick in the 30th minute. Hocine Antigny scored 2-0 in the 33rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Flavien Suc, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 38 minutes into the match, Flaxlanden's goal looked a bit too open when Pierre-Antoine Cadinot came free, but Pacome Couffignal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 42 minutes into the match, Hocine Antigny had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Flavien Suc. Odomez's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Hocine Antigny was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 3-0 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Valerien Foucher was the one to do the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Odomez's zone, Valerien Foucher stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Flavien Suc came out of the goal and Valerien Foucher tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 59 played minutes Odomez got a freekick which was hit by Jean Bellanger. In the 60th minute Geoffroy Bargain shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Flavien Suc saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Flavien Suc made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Valerien Foucher in the 64th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Flaxlanden's zone, Jack Lescot stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Pacome Couffignal came out of the goal and Jack Lescot tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Odomez's Flavien Suc played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hocine Antigny in the 72nd minute of play. If Célestin Devos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 84 minutes in the game, Pierre-Antoine Cadinot fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Pacome Couffignal having to interfere. When Célestin Devos came up free with the goalie in the 84th minute, the Odomez 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 Célestin Devos couldn't finish the play. Pacome Couffignal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pierre-Antoine Cadinot, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Hocine Antigny had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Flaxlanden's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
