Stade Chatenet
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Adrien Lepron made the kick off which started today's match. Seraincourt's defense didn't have a chance, in the 4th minute, when Dan Hirel scored to the left of an out of position Gaspard Brunier, making the score, 1-0. In the 9th minute, Steve Theobald 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. René Bénazet took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Steve Theobald, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Dan Hirel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 15 minutes, Dan Hirel managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Chatenet's supporters crossed their fingers, but Dan Hirel was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jean-Pascal Delsart struck a weak shot in the 22nd minute. Gaspard Brunier didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Chatenet. In the 32nd minute, Sofyane Gigot hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Émilien Defossez's late challenge caught a Seraincourt's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Émilien Defossez helped the player get up and apologised. The referee gave Seraincourt a penalty, 34 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Clement Pidoux, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Chatenet's René Bénazet. 1-1. After 37 played minutes Seraincourt got a freekick which was hit by Edgard Crampon. When Chatenet's Dan Hirel in the 39th minute got a chance for a shot 39th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Seraincourt's goalie prevented a goal. A collision led to Seraincourt getting a freekick after 48 minutes play. Victor Chevillot hit a great ball. Seraincourt's Gaspard Brunier proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 52nd minute of the match, managed to save Seraincourt from getting a goal against them. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Dan Hirel made a kick off. Kilian Plouvier fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gaspard Brunier having to interfere. After having played for 62 minutes, Adrien Lepron managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Seraincourt's supporters crossed their fingers, but Adrien Lepron was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With his leg René Bénazet managed to avoid a goal in the 63rdth minute, when Seraincourt's Steve Theobald fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adrien Lepron in the 65th minute of play forced Chatenet's goalkeeper René Bénazet to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jean-Pascal Delsart sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The crowd rose to their feet as Seraincourt's Adrien Lepron slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of René Bénazet. That made the score 1-2 after 72 minutes of play. Gaspard Brunier showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Dan Hirel, who was totally free with the ball in the 77th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Seraincourt's zone, Jean-Pascal Delsart stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gaspard Brunier came out of the goal and Jean-Pascal Delsart tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Chatenet's René Bénazet played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Adrien Lepron in the 84th minute of play. Jean-Pascal Delsart struck a weak shot in the 86th minute. Gaspard Brunier didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Chatenet. 88 minutes into the match, Seraincourt's goal looked a bit too open when Dan Hirel came free, but Gaspard Brunier reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Chatenet's Émilien Defossez got a free kick in the 89th minute. Gaspard Brunier stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Dan Hirel's shot from short distance in the 95th minute. 99 minutes into the match, Dan Hirel notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of Seraincourt's Gaspard Brunier. Gaspard Brunier was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
