League Play-Off

Stade Volvic
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Florian Menager started the match with the kick off. In the 3rdth minute of the game Florian Menager who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Parcieux's Romaric Le Duff was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Geoffroy Butet struck a weak shot in the 4th minute. Romaric Le Duff didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Volvic. Florian Menager was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 5th minute. Volvic's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Romaric Le Duff acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 13th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Firmin Loire. In the 16th minute the ball was on its way in behind Parcieux's goalkeeper Romaric Le Duff, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Aime Fruchart showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Loic Francomme in the 20th minute of the match. Florian Menager might have been able to make a better finish in the 22nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Romaric Le Duff. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Florian Menager ran back to his position shaking his head. 26 minutes into the match, Volvic's goal looked a bit too open when Pascal Legendre came free, but Aime Fruchart reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 37 minutes into the match, Geoffroy Butet notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Parcieux's Romaric Le Duff. Romaric Le Duff was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Parcieux's Romaric Le Duff proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 41st minute of the match, managed to save Parcieux from getting a goal against them. If Florian Menager had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 46 minutes into the match, Parcieux's goalkeeper Romaric Le Duff had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Geoffroy Butet. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

After having played for 59 minutes, Florian Menager managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Volvic's supporters crossed their fingers, but Florian Menager was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Parcieux's Emilien Hadjadj got a free kick in the 60th minute. Geoffroy Butet received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Romaric Le Duff tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 66th match minute, Parcieux was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Loic Francomme to maneuver through the defense. When Volvic's Florian Menager in the 67th minute got a chance for a shot 67th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Parcieux's goalie prevented a goal. After a rather tough play, Parcieux's Yann Cavaille got a free kick in the 72nd minute. 75 minutes into the match, Parcieux's goal looked a bit too open when Florian Menager came free, but Romaric Le Duff reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Volvic's Florian Menager got a good chance for a goal in the 79th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Charles Beauval received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Aime Fruchart tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Pascal Legendre could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 86th minute of the match, but Aime Fruchart made a huge save. Florian Menager's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Romaric Le Duff read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 97th minute of play. 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. Volvic fully deserved thier win.
