League Play-Off

Stade Cangé
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Firmin Matheron kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the match, Cangé's goal looked a bit too open when Hugo Astier came free, but Michaël Chavet reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Paulo Brosset took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Firmin Matheron, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Alban Lemarechal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Michaël Chavet having to interfere. If Alban Lemarechal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Michaël Chavet made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jacob Audoin in the 15th minute of play. When Firmin Matheron came up free with the goalie in the 19th minute, the Cangé 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 Firmin Matheron couldn't finish the play. Madjid Cottard sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Andilly's Paulo Brosset proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 25th minute of the match, managed to save Andilly from getting a goal against them. Paulo Brosset was a little too slow when Firmin Matheron got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 31st minute. The score was now 1-0. If Madjid Cottard had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 38 minutes into the game, Firmin Matheron lined in a short shot 2-0 behind a frustrated Paulo Brosset. In the 47th minute, Firmin Matheron fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Paulo Brosset, passed just outside the right post. Af the end of the first half the score was 2-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Alban Lemarechal to strike the kick off in the second half. When Marco Ruch fell near the penalty area in the 52nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Cangé's protests and gave Marco Ruch a yellow card for diving instead. In the 52nd match minute, Cangé was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Marco Ruch to maneuver through the defense. Alban Lemarechal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Michaël Chavet having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Cangé's Johan Ribéry got a free kick in the 55th minute. If Jacob Audoin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 62 minutes into the game, Farid Manteau was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Cangé's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Andilly the free kick. Roger Kerebel took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 63rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Michaël Chavet. Cangé's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. The Cangé fans' excitement grew in the 65th match minute when Cangé's Firmin Matheron looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 3-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Alban Lemarechal's late challenge caught a Cangé's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alban Lemarechal helped the player get up and apologised. Madjid Cottard fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paulo Brosset having to interfere. 70 minutes into the match, Firmin Matheron notched a goal, 4-1, to the right of Andilly's Paulo Brosset. Paulo Brosset was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Andilly's Jacob Audoin got a good chance for a goal in the 75th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 81st minute Alban Lemarechal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Michaël Chavet saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The long shot by David Bertin in the 85th minute really tested Michaël Chavet's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. 94 minutes into the match, Cangé's goalkeeper Michaël Chavet had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jacob Audoin. In the 97th minute Firmin Matheron shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Paulo Brosset saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cangé's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
