Stade Chécy
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Steven Lassus made the kick off and thus started the match. 3 minutes into the match, Titouan Fontana notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Chécy's Romaric Leprevost. Romaric Leprevost was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Mathis Rouhaud charged in rather forcefully in the 7th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Mathis Rouhaud the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Desire Maze was out of position in the 11 minute of play, and Nelson Peschard capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Nelson Peschard really showed his touch with that goal: 2-1. In the 14th minute, Steven Lassus 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. Pierre-Henri Arpin took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 17th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Romaric Leprevost. Chécy's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. In the 18th minute the ball was on its way in behind Lomme's goalkeeper Desire Maze, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Nelson Peschard had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Pierre-Henri Arpin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Romaric Leprevost having to interfere. 29 minutes into the match, Chécy's goal looked a bit too open when Bixente Goasdoue came free, but Romaric Leprevost reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Desire Maze took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Steven Lassus, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 42nd minute, Pierre-Henri Arpin ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Romaric Leprevost was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. Bixente Goasdoue fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Romaric Leprevost having to interfere. The first half was very even, with the score at 2-2 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Bixente Goasdoue made a kick off. In the 52nd minute Nelson Peschard shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Desire Maze saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Steven Lassus fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Desire Maze having to interfere. When Pierre-Henri Arpin came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the Lomme 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 Pierre-Henri Arpin couldn't finish the play. Bixente Goasdoue received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Romaric Leprevost tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 65 minutes into the match, Lomme's goal looked a bit too open when Steven Lassus came free, but Desire Maze reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 67 minutes into the match, Nelson Peschard had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Desire Maze. Lomme's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Nelson Peschard was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-2. Nelson Peschard fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Desire Maze having to interfere. Chécy's Nelson Peschard got a good chance for a goal in the 75th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Pierre-Henri Arpin recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 80th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Romaric Leprevost showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bixente Goasdoue, who was totally free with the ball in the 84th minute. Nelson Peschard received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 87th minute. Desire Maze tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Romaric Leprevost took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bixente Goasdoue, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a little luck, Chécy's Romaric Leprevost got control of the ball when Pierre-Henri Arpin tried to sneak it across the goal line. The supporters of Chécy booed when Lomme was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 96 match minutes in a wonderful position. Titouan Fontana didn't get a good kick on the ball. Chécy were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Lomme for a fine match.
