Stade Vétraz
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Renan Le Dain took the kick off in the first half of the match. Dan Pouillard sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 7 played minutes Vétraz got a freekick which was hit by Theo Dourthe. After recieving a nice pass, Lalande's Stanislas Pequignot tried to score from far away in the 8th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Fernand Bellet in the 14th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Raoul Marchais saved Vétraz from getting behind. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dan Pouillard in the 15th minute of play forced Vétraz's goalkeeper Raoul Marchais to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Renan Le Dain received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Karl Nay tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Pacome Blet recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 20th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 23rd minute, Renan Le Dain got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Gerard Vittoz hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. Lalande's Fernand Bellet got a good chance for a goal in the 31st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 33rd minute, Dan Pouillard managed to get in a good position for a shot. Lalande's supporters rose to their feet, but Dan Pouillard was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Raoul Marchais breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Fernand Bellet received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Raoul Marchais tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Fernand Bellet fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Raoul Marchais having to interfere. Karl Nay was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Renan Le Dain showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 2-0 in the 42 minute of play. In the 48th minute Fernand Bellet shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Raoul Marchais saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 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 2-0.

If Fernand Bellet had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 56 minutes into the match, Dan Pouillard dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Raoul Marchais, 2-1. When Dan Pouillard came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the Lalande 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 Dan Pouillard couldn't finish the play. Karl Nay didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Pacome Blet went, in the 66th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-1 was the resulting score. When Lalande's Dan Pouillard in 71 game minutes managed to cut through with the ball in front of the goal, only having to shoot. Raoul Marchais guarding the goal like a pit bull was extremely focused and managed to reach the ball just by the crossbar before it went in. After some careless play in the Vétraz defense, Dan Pouillard kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Raoul Marchais. The Vétraz fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Raoul Marchais should have stopped the shot. Dimitri Bolot kicked well hit freekick during the 87th minute of the match. Raoul Marchais made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dan Pouillard in the 88th minute of play. Fernand Bellet scored 3-4 in the 91st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Raoul Marchais, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Lalande walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
