Stade Rouzat
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Axel Dheilly took the kick off in the first half of the match. Quentin Yon kicked well hit freekick during the 5th minute of the match. Marvin Clement made a great header on Rouzat's corner, it was just that Yvette's Édouard Perche managed to reach the ball for a save. In the 9th minute, Norbert Blanpain hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Joachim Foret had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jarod Hurel showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Joachim Foret, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute. Marvin Clement kicked well hit freekick during the 18th minute of the match. Jarod Hurel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Arnaud Marchat in the 19th minute of play. Rouzat's Jarod Hurel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Joachim Foret in the 20th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Rouzat's zone, Axel Dheilly stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jarod Hurel came out of the goal and Axel Dheilly tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 27 minutes of play, Yvette's Axel Dheilly made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Jarod Hurel was left in no man's land by his defense there! Joachim Foret recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Axel Dheilly sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 40th play minutes Axel Dheilly shot 0-2, a short shot which went by Jarod Hurel and just under the crossbar into goal. Bertrand Chaffard received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Jarod Hurel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Germain Orlando to make the kick off. Germain Orlando blasted a shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Édouard Perche having to make a save. After some fancy dribbling in the 61st minute, Germain Orlando managed to get in a good position for a shot. Rouzat's supporters rose to their feet, but Germain Orlando was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Édouard Perche breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Norbert Blanpain had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Francois Constans lost his temper 70 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In the 69th minute, one of Rouzat:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Rouzat. After having played for 75 minutes, Norbert Blanpain managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rouzat's supporters crossed their fingers, but Norbert Blanpain was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Édouard Perche made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bruce Lahousse in the 77th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Norbert Blanpain in the 82nd minute of play forced Yvette's goalkeeper Édouard Perche to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Joachim Foret sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Édouard Perche took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Norbert Blanpain, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Rouzat booed when Yvette was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 89 match minutes in a wonderful position. Quentin Yon didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 95th minute the ball was on its way in behind Rouzat's goalkeeper Jarod Hurel, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The Yvette supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Yvette would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
