League Play-Off

Stade Pradon
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Hamid Bucher took the kick off in the first half of the match. With a little luck, Verlinghem's Djibril Guiton got control of the ball when Jérémy Gorce tried to sneak it across the goal line. Hamid Bucher fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Djibril Guiton having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Hamid Bucher's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Djibril Guiton was relentless in the 10th minute of the game. Arnold Bernigaud might have been able to make a better finish in the 14th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nelson Chevron. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Arnold Bernigaud ran back to his position shaking his head. Nelson Chevron didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Axel Ravier went, in the 14th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Hamid Bucher scored 1-1 in the 17th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Djibril Guiton, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 22nd minute, Pradon's Hamid Bucher dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-1. Arnold Bernigaud recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 28th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Everyone was convinced a goal was close when Pradon's Hamid Bucher in the 30th minute lifted the ball towards the upper right corner, but Djibril Guiton was perfectly placed and prevented a goal for Verlinghem through an amazing save. Nelson Chevron made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Arnold Bernigaud in the 32nd minute of play. Djibril Guiton showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hamid Bucher in the 34th minute of the match. In the 43rd minute, Jérémy Gorce left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Pradon fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-1.

The wind increased when Arnold Bernigaud made the kick off in the second half. Pradon's Nelson Chevron proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 53rd minute of the match, managed to save Pradon from getting a goal against them. Hamid Bucher sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jérémy Gorce received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Djibril Guiton tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Pradon booed when Verlinghem was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gaspard Lamarque didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 66th minute, Gaël Gallas made a precise shot to the right of Djibril Guiton. Verlinghem's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 4-1. Hamid Bucher fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Djibril Guiton having to interfere. Axel Ravier's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Nelson Chevron firmly grabbed it by the left post. Jérémy Gorce sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 81st minute, Morgan Cambray hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 87th minute, Arnold Bernigaud fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. If Hamid Bucher had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
