League Play-Off

Janvry
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Janvry's Manuel Gaudron started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Raymond Savin showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Faustin Bion, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. If Manuel Gaudron had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 13th minute Mathieu Labussière shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Raymond Savin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 17 minutes into the game, one of Janvry:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. In the 19th minute there was a penalty for Elisabethville. Youssef Dhenin stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Raymond Savin. 0-1. Mathieu Labussière fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Raymond Savin having to interfere. When Faustin Bion came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Elisabethville 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 Faustin Bion couldn't finish the play. If Mathieu Labussière had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 29 minutes into the game, Danny Ballay was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Janvry's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Elisabethville the free kick. Danny Ballay kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. Antonin Jonard's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Aimé Ménard firmly grabbed it by the left post. Antonin Jonard fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 48th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aimé Ménard having to interfere. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-3.

In the 57th minute, Janvry's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Faustin Bion fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mathieu Labussière in the 59th minute of play forced Janvry's goalkeeper Raymond Savin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Raymond Savin made a fantastic save in the 62nd minute, when Faustin Bion sent off a good shot on target. The audience was convinced that Antonin Jonard's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Aimé Ménard was relentless in the 65th minute of the game. Antonin Jonard blasted a shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Aimé Ménard having to make a save. A collision led to Elisabethville getting a freekick after 71 minutes play. Teddy Esteves hit a great ball. Antonin Jonard struck a weak shot in the 73rd minute. Aimé Ménard didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Janvry. Janvry's Manuel Gaudron got a good chance for a goal in the 76th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Mathieu Labussière sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 83 minutes of play, Elisabethville's Faustin Bion made it 0-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Raymond Savin was left in no man's land by his defense there! Teddy Esteves kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. Manuel Gaudron recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 91st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Tristan Rascle had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
