Pétrie
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Clem Hébrard made the kick off which started today's match. When Jean-Marie Paoli got free in front of the goal in the 6th minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal. Farid Dupré was delighted since he was out of position and the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. Jean-Marie Paoli fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Farid Dupré having to interfere. Jean-Marie Paoli received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Farid Dupré came out and tried to block the shot, but Jean-Marie Paoli slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 10th minute. In the 23rd match minute, Pétrie was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jules Chapalain to maneuver through the defense. Loret's Clem Hébrard got a good chance for a goal in the 25th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 29th minute, one of Pétrie:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Pétrie. 34 minutes into the match, Pétrie's goal looked a bit too open when Jordy Alfonsi came free, but Bacary Camara reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jules Chapalain recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 37th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In a very dangerous position, a player in Loret fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 41st minute. Penalty! The referee gave Pétrie a penalty, 44 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Daryl Teyssier, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Loret's Farid Dupré. 3-1. Bacary Camara didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jordy Alfonsi went, in the 49th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-2 was the resulting score. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-2 at half-time.

The wind increased when Jean-Marie Paoli made the kick off in the second half. Jean-Marie Paoli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Clem Hébrard fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bacary Camara having to interfere. 61 minutes into the match, Jean-Marie Paoli had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Farid Dupré. Loret's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Jean-Marie Paoli was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-2. In the 64th minute, Karl Chupin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 70th minute Clem Hébrard shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bacary Camara saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Loret's Farid Dupré played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by André Barbet in the 75th minute of play. André Barbet might have been able to make a better finish in the 78th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Farid Dupré. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. André Barbet ran back to his position shaking his head. After 81 played minutes Pétrie got a freekick which was hit by André Barbet. In the 83rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Pétrie's goalkeeper Bacary Camara, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 86 minutes into the match, Pétrie's goalkeeper Bacary Camara had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jordy Alfonsi. 93 minutes into the game, André Barbet cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 5-2. Farid Dupré was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After having played for 100 minutes, Jean-Marie Paoli managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pétrie's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jean-Marie Paoli was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Farid Dupré showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from André Barbet in the 101st minute of the match. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Pétrie fully deserved thier win.
