League Play-Off

Atlanta Park
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Gabin Kuntz took the kick off in the first half of the match. Ole-Kristian Ingebrigtsen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Xavier Matray, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. 7 minutes into the game, Gabin Kuntz recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Charly Tournois. Gabin Kuntz showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. Atlanta United's Gabin Kuntz got a good chance for a goal in the 12th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Arthur Poiré charged in rather forcefully in the 13th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Arthur Poiré the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Atlanta United booed when Bray was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 13 match minutes in a wonderful position. Arthur Poiré didn't get a good kick on the ball. Bray's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Gabin Kuntz 16 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 2-0. After a rather tough play, Bray's Allan Catry got a free kick in the 21st minute. Nathanaël Duparc fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Charly Tournois having to interfere. After having played for 28 minutes, Daniel Ragot managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bray's supporters crossed their fingers, but Daniel Ragot was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With a little luck, Bray's Charly Tournois got control of the ball when Nathanaël Duparc tried to sneak it across the goal line. Gabin Kuntz was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 36th minute. Atlanta United's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 43rd match minute, Bray was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Allan Catry to maneuver through the defense. Xavier Matray's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ole-Kristian Ingebrigtsen read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 48th minute of play. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Xavier Matray to strike the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the game, Xavier Matray recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Ole-Kristian Ingebrigtsen. Xavier Matray showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 3-1. 4-1 became the score in the 56th minute when Yves Coulaud elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Bray's Charly Tournois played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gabin Kuntz in the 62nd minute of play. Daniel Ragot fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ole-Kristian Ingebrigtsen having to interfere. If Gabin Kuntz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 82 played minutes Bray got a freekick which was hit by Arthur Poiré. Charly Tournois took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lucas Dulin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Thanks to some nice moves Daniel Ragot could shoot a difficult shot in the 88th minute, which Ole-Kristian Ingebrigtsen however easily saved by the left post. Daniel Ragot fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ole-Kristian Ingebrigtsen having to interfere. In the 93rd minute Xavier Matray shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ole-Kristian Ingebrigtsen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Charly Tournois showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Gabin Kuntz in the 97th minute of the match. Atlanta United were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Bray for a fine match.
