League Play-Off

Stade Malnoue
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Pierre-Louis Cambray took the kick off in the first half of the match. Ahmid Zitte showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Calvin Ricci in the 5th minute of the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Pierre-Henri Peronne in the 12th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ahmid Zitte saved Malnoue from getting behind. Pierre-Henri Peronne received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Ahmid Zitte tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Félicien Migne sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Henri Naudon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ahmid Zitte having to interfere. Ahmid Zitte took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Henri Naudon, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the match clock showed 30 minutes, the score became 1-0 when Félicien Migne sped through Mariel's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Victor Schwartz. In the 35th minute, Félicien Migne left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Malnoue fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0. The audience was convinced that Pierre-Louis Cambray's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Victor Schwartz was relentless in the 44th minute of the game. Félicien Migne sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 48 minutes into the match, Mohamed Fougeron had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Victor Schwartz. Mariel's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mohamed Fougeron was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. Af the end of the first half the score was 3-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Pierre-Henri Peronne to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 55th minute the ball was on its way in behind Malnoue's goalkeeper Ahmid Zitte, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Pierre-Louis Cambray had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Félicien Migne in the 66th minute of play forced Mariel's goalkeeper Victor Schwartz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Mariel's zone, Pierre-Louis Cambray stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Victor Schwartz came out of the goal and Pierre-Louis Cambray tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 70 minutes into the match, Mariel's goal looked a bit too open when Pierre-Louis Cambray came free, but Victor Schwartz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ahmid Zitte showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pierre-Henri Peronne, who was totally free with the ball in the 79th minute. Pierre-Louis Cambray fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Victor Schwartz having to interfere. If Félicien Migne had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Pierre-Louis Cambray recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 85th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Boris Graf took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 87th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Victor Schwartz. Mariel's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Victor Schwartz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Félicien Migne in the 89th minute of the match. In the 90th minute Pierre-Louis Cambray shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Victor Schwartz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Henri Naudon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 94 minutes, Bérenger Martini mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Malnoue and the Mariel players grew even worse after the yellow card. After some fancy dribbling in the 95th minute, Henri Naudon managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mariel's supporters rose to their feet, but Henri Naudon was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ahmid Zitte breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Ahmid Zitte showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pierre-Henri Peronne, who was totally free with the ball in the 97th minute. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Malnoue fully deserved thier win.
