League Play-Off

Stade Lipsheim
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jean-François Rabut took the kick off in the first half of the match. The supporters of Jenlain booed when Lipsheim was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Raphaël Saux didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 7th minute, Patrick Tresor fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Ramzi Delépine, passed just outside the right post. Jean-François Rabut sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 14 minutes into the match, Jenlain's Pierre-Emmanuel Picot sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Adrien Doré narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Tristan Nedellec had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ramzi Delépine was out of position in the 22 minute of play, and Patrick Tresor capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Patrick Tresor really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. In the 26th match minute, Jenlain was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Pierre-Emmanuel Picot to maneuver through the defense. 29 minutes into the match, Raphaël Saux notched a goal, 2-0, to the right of Jenlain's Ramzi Delépine. Ramzi Delépine was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Patrick Tresor received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Ramzi Delépine tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Tristan Nedellec came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the Jenlain 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 Tristan Nedellec couldn't finish the play. Jenlain's Pierre-Emmanuel Picot suffered a sore thigh after 41 minutes and couldn't finish the game. The supporters of Jenlain booed when Lipsheim was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 42 match minutes in a wonderful position. Matthieu Collomb didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Lipsheim's zone, Tristan Nedellec stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Adrien Doré came out of the goal and Tristan Nedellec tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Patrick Tresor made a kick off. Lipsheim's Adrien Doré proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 57th minute of the match, managed to save Lipsheim from getting a goal against them. After recieving a nice pass, Jenlain's Jean-François Bigot tried to score from far away in the 61st minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Tristan Nedellec succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-1 in the 63rd playminute. After 67 minutes, Christian Laot mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Jenlain and the Lipsheim players grew even worse after the yellow card. Christian Laot hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. Patrick Tresor struck a weak shot in the 69th minute. Ramzi Delépine didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lipsheim. Patrick Tresor's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ramzi Delépine read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 73rd minute of play. If Patrick Tresor had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Edmond Supiot during the 75th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 75 played minutes Jenlain got a freekick which was hit by Edmond Supiot. In the 76th minute, Edmond Supiot hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The corner led Lipsheim's Erwin Carbonne to fire away a dangerous shot which Ramzi Delépine despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Edmond Supiot sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpected shot in the 90th minute by Tristan Nedellec got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side.
