League Play-Off

Stade Souchez
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ramzi Bogard made the kick off which started today's match. Salim Couderc sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 8th minute, Salim Couderc left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Mareuil fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. The crowd rose to their feet as Ramzi Bogard kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Omer Gatti. That made the score 1-1 in the 13 minute of play. A collision led to Souchez getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Alban Pflieger hit a great ball. Souchez's Ramzi Bogard got a good chance for a goal in the 22nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 22 played minutes Mareuil got a freekick which was hit by Alfred Vix. After 25 minutes Mareuil's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Hocine Riboulet who took care of the corner kick. If Salim Couderc had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Elias Ranson went to the wrong direction when Norbert Le Vaillant was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. 38 minutes into the game, Mareuil's Salim Couderc nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Elias Ranson made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-2. After 43 minutes, Jonas Job mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Mareuil and the Souchez players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 43 played minutes Mareuil got a freekick which was hit by Jonas Job. The audience thought it was a sure goal in the 45th minute, when Souchez's Alban Pflieger after having done a great run through the defense got himself free with Omer Gatti in Mareuil's goal and fired away a shot, but it missed the goal by a fraction of an inch.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Noe Molinie to make the kick off. Mareuil were awarded a corner in the 57th minute after Souchez's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Norbert Le Vaillant took the corner. The corner first didn't look so dangerous but when Johan Guglielmi got the ball he succeeded in some way to get through the defenders to deliver a very hard score. Result 1-3. 57 minutes into the match. In the 60th minute, Noe Molinie 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. Noe Molinie fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Elias Ranson having to interfere. If Salim Couderc had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 79th minute Noe Molinie shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Elias Ranson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Pierre-Antoine Raffalli received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Omer Gatti tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Noe Molinie came up free with the goalie in the 90th minute, the Mareuil 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 Molinie couldn't finish the play. Salim Couderc recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 92nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Noe Molinie in the 94th minute of play forced Souchez's goalkeeper Elias Ranson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Mareuil's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
