Sart
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Fernand Santoni made the kick off and thus started the match. After 4 minutes, Pierre Ferrant mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Sart and the Labourse players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Sart getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. Pierre Ferrant hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bertrand Auvinet in the 10th minute of play forced Sart's goalkeeper Mohamed Biret to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Bertrand Auvinet sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 24th minute, Rodolphe Lescure hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 29 minutes into the match, Sart's goal looked a bit too open when Bertrand Auvinet came free, but Mohamed Biret reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Sart's Cesar Marie-Joseph got a free kick in the 30th minute. After 32 minutes of play Sart's Pierre Ferrant was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. Hippolyte Lefeuvre took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 33rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Mohamed Biret. Sart's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Prosper Battesti kicked well hit freekick during the 34th minute of the match. 37 minutes into the match, Sart's goal looked a bit too open when Bertrand Auvinet came free, but Mohamed Biret reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Lionel Nivet made an important save on a dangerous shot by Roland Carrat in the 42nd minute. In the 42nd minute, Mathys Viau hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Prosper Battesti, 46 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Bertrand Auvinet made a kick off. Bertrand Auvinet sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 54 minutes, Henri Villa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Labourse's supporters crossed their fingers, but Henri Villa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 60th minute, Henri Villa fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Mohamed Biret, passed just outside the right post. Bertrand Auvinet sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 63rd minute, Henri Villa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Lionel Nivet made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Roland Carrat in the 66th minute of play. When Henri Villa was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 66 minutes had been played. In the 70th minute, Bertrand Auvinet 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. In the 71st minute, Calvin Besson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 79th minute, Roland Carrat made a precise shot to the right of Lionel Nivet. Labourse's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. When Prosper Bruyas came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the Sart 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 Prosper Bruyas couldn't finish the play. Lionel Nivet showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Roland Carrat in the 88th minute of the match. Bertrand Auvinet sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Sart fans cheered their team off the field, for while Labourse had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
