League Play-Off

Lorette
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Morgan Gousse started the match with the kick off. When Gaspard Sassi fell near the penalty area in the 9th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Marillat's protests and gave Gaspard Sassi a yellow card for diving instead. In the 9th minute, Gaspard Sassi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Paul-Henri Gremy showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Morgan Gousse, who was totally free with the ball in the 11th minute. After taking down the ball on Marillat's corner Bertrand Serres fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Gael Wetzel quite easily take care of the ball. The audience was convinced that Thierry Chalopin's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gael Wetzel was relentless in the 22nd minute of the game. If Thierry Chalopin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Marillat's Flavian Demars got a good chance for a goal in the 29th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Flavian Demars received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 30th minute. Gael Wetzel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Thierry Chalopin in the 36th minute of play forced Lorette's goalkeeper Gael Wetzel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 38 minutes into the match, Marillat's goal looked a bit too open when Morgan Gousse came free, but Paul-Henri Gremy reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Thierry Chalopin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

The wind increased when Flavian Demars made the kick off in the second half. Flavian Demars fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gael Wetzel having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Lorette's Aurelien Brahimi got a free kick in the 66th minute. Bertrand Serres was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 67th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Gael Wetzel came out of the goal in the 73rd minute to try and stop a shot by Marillat's Thierry Chalopin. But to his dismay, Thierry Chalopin quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Gael Wetzel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Flavian Demars in the 76th minute of play. After 78 minutes, Thierry Chalopin mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Marillat and the Lorette players grew even worse after the yellow card. 80 minutes into the match, Morgan Gousse notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Marillat's Paul-Henri Gremy. Paul-Henri Gremy was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When Pacome Delobelle came up free with the goalie in the 88th minute, the Lorette 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 Pacome Delobelle couldn't finish the play. 90 minutes into the match, Marillat's goal looked a bit too open when Guillaume Uguen came free, but Paul-Henri Gremy reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Pacome Delobelle's late challenge caught a Marillat's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Pacome Delobelle helped the player get up and apologised. In the 94th minute, Pacome Delobelle hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
