League Play-Off

Stade Villate
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Lionel Le Moigne made the kick off which started today's match. Simon Larnicol's late challenge caught a Pierreplane's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Simon Larnicol helped the player get up and apologised. Simon Larnicol kicked well hit freekick during the 3rd minute of the match. In the 7th minute Albert Choux shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jeremy Rateau saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Albert Choux recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 9th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Villate's Simon Larnicol got his second yellow card of the match in the 14th minute. The referee ordered Simon Larnicol off the ground. The audience thought a goal was coming when Joris Barriere got free with Steve Nouveau in the 20th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 25 played minutes Villate got a freekick which was hit by Theodore Lazare. Albert Choux sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Albert Choux fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 32nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jeremy Rateau having to interfere. In the 48th minute the ball was on its way in behind Villate's goalkeeper Jeremy Rateau, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Albert Choux stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Theodore Lazare was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 53 minutes had been played. The supporters of Pierreplane booed when Villate was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 54 match minutes in a wonderful position. Theodore Lazare didn't get a good kick on the ball. Albert Choux's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Jeremy Rateau firmly grabbed it by the left post. Villate's Joris Barriere got a good chance for a goal in the 57th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Thanks to some nice moves Albert Choux could shoot a difficult shot in the 59th minute, which Jeremy Rateau however easily saved by the left post. Remi Massiot recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 61st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Remi Massiot kicked well hit freekick during the 66th minute of the match. 78 minutes into the match, Remi Massiot had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Steve Nouveau. Pierreplane's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Remi Massiot was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Joris Barriere blasted a shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Steve Nouveau having to make a save. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
