Stade Carros
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Johan Pagnon made the kick off which started today's match. After a rather tough play, Carros's Roger Arthaud got a free kick in the 3rd minute. In the 5th minute of the match Miré got a corner. Carros's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Karim Hamadi ran over to the corner to take the kick. Thanks to some nice moves Pierrick Combret could shoot a difficult shot in the 11th minute, which Fabiano Pellicciotta however easily saved by the left post. After some fancy dribbling in the 16th minute, Karim Hamadi managed to get in a good position for a shot. Miré's supporters rose to their feet, but Karim Hamadi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Grégoire Pouget breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Fabiano Pellicciotta took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eymeric Calmettes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 24th minute, Pierrick Combret hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 25 minutes into the game, Johan Pagnon cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Grégoire Pouget was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Grégoire Pouget didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jean-Pierre Bruckert went, in the 38th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. In the 45th minute, Karim Hamadi 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. After having played for 46 minutes, Johan Pagnon managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Miré's supporters crossed their fingers, but Johan Pagnon was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Eymeric Calmettes to make the kick off. Roger Arthaud struck a weak shot in the 51st minute. Fabiano Pellicciotta didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Carros. In the 54th minute Eymeric Calmettes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fabiano Pellicciotta saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Karim Hamadi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Grégoire Pouget having to interfere. Grégoire Pouget showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Johan Pagnon in the 59th minute of the match. If Johan Pagnon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 64th minute, Jean-Pierre Bruckert managed to get in a good position for a shot. Miré's supporters rose to their feet, but Jean-Pierre Bruckert was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Grégoire Pouget breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 67th minute of the match, Jean-Pierre Bruckert got a very nice opportunity to score, but Grégoire Pouget was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. After 70 played minutes Carros got a freekick which was hit by Roger Arthaud. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jean-Pierre Bruckert in the 72nd minute of play forced Carros's goalkeeper Grégoire Pouget to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Karim Hamadi managed to get in a good position for a shot. Miré's supporters rose to their feet, but Karim Hamadi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Grégoire Pouget breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

Eymeric Calmettes kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. After having played for 78 minutes, Karim Hamadi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Miré's supporters crossed their fingers, but Karim Hamadi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

After 84 minutes of play, Carros's Pierrick Combret made it 1-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Fabiano Pellicciotta was left in no man's land by his defense there! Carros's Grégoire Pouget proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 87th minute of the match, managed to save Carros from getting a goal against them. In the 94th minute, Martial Ducamp hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 95th minute, Pierrick Combret managed to get in a good position for a shot.

The Carros players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
