League Play-Off

Stade Garonne
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) After a defensive mix-up in Annonciade's zone, Sammy Grolier stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bérenger Perreau came out of the goal and Sammy Grolier tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 6 minutes into the game, Sammy Grolier was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Garonne's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Annonciade the free kick. Sammy Grolier hit a great freekick 6 minutes into the match. After 30 minutes of play, Annonciade's Djimmy Jousseaume made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Raphaël Plouzennec was left in no man's land by his defense there! When Abraham Goudard came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the Annonciade 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 Abraham Goudard couldn't finish the play. If Abraham Goudard had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some careless play in the Garonne defense, Bertrand Gallon kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Raphaël Plouzennec. The Garonne fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Raphaël Plouzennec should have stopped the shot. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Bertrand Gallon made a kick off. When Sammy Grolier came up free with the goalie in the 59th minute, the Garonne 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 Sammy Grolier couldn't finish the play. After having played for 66 minutes, Bertrand Gallon managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Annonciade's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bertrand Gallon was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Madjid Chalancon fell near the penalty area in the 72nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Garonne's protests and gave Madjid Chalancon a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Annonciade booed when Garonne was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Madjid Chalancon didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 74th minute, Garonne's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Bertrand Gallon fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Bertrand Gallon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Raphaël Plouzennec having to interfere. Bérenger Perreau took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sammy Grolier, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Jérémie Houel kicked well hit freekick during the 80th minute of the match. In the 82nd minute Sammy Grolier shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bérenger Perreau saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, Annonciade's Jérémie Houel got a free kick in the 83rd minute. Sammy Grolier sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 90th minute, Madjid Chalancon 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. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mustapha Teillet in the 95th minute of play forced Annonciade's goalkeeper Bérenger Perreau to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Annonciade eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
