League Play-Off

Stade Garidech
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Maurice Sechet took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 7th minute, Arnold Hautecoeur made a precise shot to the right of Gaston Beaudoux. Garidech's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Noe Lassaigne struck a weak shot in the 10th minute. Gaston Beaudoux didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Huvet. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Noe Lassaigne managed to get in a good position for a shot. Huvet's supporters rose to their feet, but Noe Lassaigne was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gaston Beaudoux breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Pierre-Olivier Willemin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Gaspard Helin read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 17th minute of play. After 18 played minutes Huvet got a freekick which was hit by Lorenzo Houel. Frederic Moulet was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 19th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. When Noe Lassaigne came up free with the goalie in the 21st minute, the Huvet 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 Noe Lassaigne couldn't finish the play. If Arnold Hautecoeur had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 29th minute, Maurice Sechet left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Garidech fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-2. Arnold Hautecoeur scored 1-3 in the 34th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Gaston Beaudoux, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 39 minutes into the match, Huvet's goal looked a bit too open when Maurice Sechet came free, but Gaspard Helin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Gaspard Helin was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 42nd minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Tanguy Berthaud. In the 45th minute Noe Lassaigne shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gaston Beaudoux saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cedric Sorel took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 49th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Gaston Beaudoux. Garidech's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Disappointed in the 1-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Arnold Hautecoeur made a kick off. After having played for 61 minutes, Jules Ginoux managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Garidech's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jules Ginoux was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A collision led to Huvet getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Flavian Mauget hit a great ball. After 69 played minutes, Garidech's Tanguy Berthaud shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Gaspard Helin came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Garidech reached it. Pierre-Olivier Willemin might have been able to make a better finish in the 70th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Gaspard Helin. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Pierre-Olivier Willemin ran back to his position shaking his head. Lorenzo Houel kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. In the 76th minute, Frederic Moulet sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Huvet's Gaspard Helin didn't even have to move. Pierre-Olivier Willemin struck a weak shot in the 78th minute. Gaspard Helin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Garidech. The audience was convinced that Maurice Sechet's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gaspard Helin was relentless in the 80th minute of the game. Gaspard Helin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pierre-Olivier Willemin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Pierre-Olivier Willemin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 91 minutes into the match, Huvet's goal looked a bit too open when Pierre-Olivier Willemin came free, but Gaspard Helin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Huvet's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
