League Play-Off

Stade Famars
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mehdi Dumartin made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute Mehdi Dumartin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Harold Lesaulnier saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Xavier Hugon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 14th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 16th minute the ball was on its way in behind Famars's goalkeeper Harold Lesaulnier, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The audience thought a goal was coming when Yannick Marescaux got free with Samuel Mansuy in the 19th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 21 minutes into the game, Mehdi Dumartin cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Harold Lesaulnier was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. When Mehdi Dumartin came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Condamine 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 Mehdi Dumartin couldn't finish the play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Laurent Ligier during the 27th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 28th minute, Laurent Ligier hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Yannick Marescaux's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Samuel Mansuy read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 29th minute of play. 31 minutes into the match, Yannick Marescaux notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Condamine's Samuel Mansuy. Samuel Mansuy was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Xavier Hugon took the ball and in the 38 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Harold Lesaulnier. Harold Lesaulnier dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. The score stood at 2-2 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Joachim Courtade made a kick off. In the 52nd minute Mehdi Dumartin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Harold Lesaulnier saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Condamine's zone, Joachim Courtade stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Samuel Mansuy came out of the goal and Joachim Courtade tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 60th minute, Mehdi Dumartin reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Harold Lesaulnier. The goal made the score 2-3. 65 minutes into the game, Gabriel Cailleaux was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Condamine's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Famars the free kick. After a rather tough play, Condamine's Gabriel Cailleaux got a free kick in the 65th minute. The supporters of Condamine booed when Famars was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Édouard Callens didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mehdi Dumartin in the 74th minute of play forced Famars's goalkeeper Harold Lesaulnier to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Famars's Harold Lesaulnier proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 78th minute of the match, managed to save Famars from getting a goal against them. If Joachim Courtade had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 91st minute the ball was on its way in behind Condamine's goalkeeper Samuel Mansuy, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Samuel Mansuy took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Yannick Marescaux, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
