Stade Chatenet
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Jacques Turquin got the match started through his kick off. Etienne Dervin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eliott Bonal having to interfere. Harold Pouzet hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. Ilan Blondel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 18 minutes of play, Touche's Jacques Turquin made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Eliott Bonal was left in no man's land by his defense there! 26 minutes into the match, Chatenet's goal looked a bit too open when Jacques Turquin came free, but Eliott Bonal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Chatenet's Donald Debonne got a free kick in the 26th minute. In the 30th minute the ball was on its way in behind Chatenet's goalkeeper Eliott Bonal, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Eliott Bonal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jacques Turquin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Jacques Turquin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Reynald Lesot might have been able to make a better finish in the 44th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Philippe Savigny. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Reynald Lesot ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 48th minute, Etienne Dervin left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Touche fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-3. The Chatenet players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Touche were winning 0-3.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Zinedine Bouche to strike the kick off in the second half. 58 minutes into the match, Touche's goal looked a bit too open when Zinedine Bouche came free, but Philippe Savigny reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Zinedine Bouche in the 63rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Philippe Savigny saved Touche from getting behind. Harold Pouzet's late challenge caught a Touche's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Harold Pouzet helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Chatenet getting a freekick after 66 minutes play. Harold Pouzet hit a great ball. Donald Debonne hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. If Etienne Dervin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 75 minutes, Jacques Turquin managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Touche's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jacques Turquin was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Etienne Dervin who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 78thth minute tested the skills of Eliott Bonal when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Zinedine Bouche fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Philippe Savigny having to interfere. Junior Bazile hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. A collision led to Touche getting a freekick after 85 minutes play. Junior Bazile hit a great ball. After 86 played minutes, Chatenet's Ernest Petitjean shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Philippe Savigny came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Chatenet reached it. Etienne Dervin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. When the final whistle sounded Touche left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Chatenet.
