League Play-Off

Loos
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ferdinand Vermorel made the kick off which started today's match. With a little luck, Lugrin's Flavien Appert got control of the ball when Jean-Christophe Jacquier tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 7th minute Ferdinand Vermorel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Madjid Rahmani saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ferdinand Vermorel fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Madjid Rahmani having to interfere. In the 12th minute, Bilal Magnani 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. Flavien Appert made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bilal Magnani in the 15th minute of play. In the 17th minute, Bilal Magnani 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. In the 19th minute Bilal Magnani shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Flavien Appert saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 23rd play minutes Ferdinand Vermorel shot 0-1, a short shot which went by Madjid Rahmani and just under the crossbar into goal. In the 26th minute, Lugrin's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Richard Martinat fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Farid Virot hit a great freekick 34 minutes into the match. 37 minutes into the game, Adam Guinchard was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Loos's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Lugrin the free kick. Lugrin's Marvin Couty got a good chance for a goal in the 40th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Bilal Magnani made a kick off. Flavien Appert took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bilal Magnani, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Denis Amara fell near the penalty area in the 56th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Lugrin's protests and gave Denis Amara a yellow card for diving instead. Bilal Magnani sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ferdinand Vermorel in the 66th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Madjid Rahmani saved Loos from getting behind. 69 minutes into the match, Lugrin's goal looked a bit too open when Bilal Magnani came free, but Flavien Appert reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Bilal Magnani came up free with the goalie in the 70th minute, the Loos 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 Bilal Magnani couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in Lugrin's zone, Bilal Magnani stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Flavien Appert came out of the goal and Bilal Magnani tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Honoré Vidot charged in rather forcefully in the 74th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Honoré Vidot the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After having played for 79 minutes, Richard Martinat managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Loos's supporters crossed their fingers, but Richard Martinat was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Marvin Couty in the 86thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Madjid Rahmani, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Marvin Couty succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-2 in the 88th playminute. With a little luck, Loos's Madjid Rahmani got control of the ball when Marvin Couty tried to sneak it across the goal line. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Lugrin walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
