League Play-Off

Stade Opme
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Gérald Trichard kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the match, Opme's goal looked a bit too open when Martial Marciano came free, but Sofiane Gasser reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 4th minute of the match Mont got a corner. Opme's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Rodrigo Chabbert ran over to the corner to take the kick. A well-hit corner resulted in Gérald Trichard heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. When Gérald Trichard came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Mont 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 Gérald Trichard couldn't finish the play. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Martial Marciano in the 13th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Sofiane Gasser prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Martial Marciano took the ball and in the 15 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Sofiane Gasser. Sofiane Gasser dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Clément Gaboriaud didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alphonse Le Cam went, in the 23rd minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. 29 minutes into the game, Dylan Texier recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Clément Gaboriaud. Dylan Texier showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-1. Gérald Trichard blasted a shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Sofiane Gasser having to make a save. John Bergère fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Clément Gaboriaud having to interfere. Gérald Trichard received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Sofiane Gasser tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Alphonse Le Cam made a kick off. If Dylan Texier had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Clément Gaboriaud showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alphonse Le Cam, who was totally free with the ball in the 64th minute. Dylan Texier took the ball and in the 67 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Clément Gaboriaud. Clément Gaboriaud dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-1. Sofiane Gasser came out of the goal in the 75th minute to try and stop a shot by Mont's Martial Marciano. But to his dismay, Martial Marciano quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-2. Gérald Trichard was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 79th minute. Mont's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Dylan Texier struck a weak shot in the 82nd minute. Clément Gaboriaud didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Opme. Mont's Martial Marciano got a good chance for a goal in the 83rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Sofiane Gasser made an important save on a dangerous shot by Martial Marciano in the 85th minute. The audience was convinced that Gérald Trichard's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Sofiane Gasser was relentless in the 88th minute of the game. Dylan Texier fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Clément Gaboriaud having to interfere. In the 95th minute Gérald Trichard shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sofiane Gasser saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mont's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
