League Play-Off

Stade Champlan
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Davy Meriaux started the match with the kick off. When Leonard Gallet fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Villabé's protests and gave Leonard Gallet a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Champlan booed when Villabé was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Leonard Gallet didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 5th minute, Davy Meriaux left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Villabé fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. After some careless play in the Champlan defense, Flavien Morgand kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Sidney Delaunay. The Champlan fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Sidney Delaunay should have stopped the shot.

After having played for 18 minutes, Theo Dejean managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Theo Dejean sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Anatole Le Lan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Theo Dejean, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Theo Dejean struck a weak shot in the 42nd minute. Anatole Le Lan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Champlan.
