Stade Portes
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) With a couple of smart ball manuevers Joey Watrin in the 5th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Constantin Contal saved Plaine from getting behind. Plaine's Constantin Contal proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 6th minute of the match, managed to save Plaine from getting a goal against them. In the 8th minute, Julien Raguenes 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. After some fancy dribbling in the 12th minute, Flavien Guerin managed to get in a good position for a shot. Plaine's supporters rose to their feet, but Flavien Guerin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Teddy Lachaise breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Flavien Guerin came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Plaine 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 Flavien Guerin couldn't finish the play. Alban Graveleau took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 32nd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Teddy Lachaise. Portes's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Prosper Liberge took the ball and in the 37 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Constantin Contal. Constantin Contal dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. In the 41st play minute Prosper Liberge came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Constantin Contal. 2-0. After 46 played minutes Portes got a freekick which was hit by Prosper Gerault. The audience held their breath when Louis Bigay in the 48th minute of the game managed to trick the opponents defenses and fired away a shot outside the goal on the Teddy Lachaise's left hand side. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Flavien Guerin made a kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Portes's zone, Julien Raguenes stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Teddy Lachaise came out of the goal and Julien Raguenes tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Joey Watrin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Constantin Contal having to interfere. When Flavien Guerin came up free with the goalie in the 61st minute, the Plaine 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 Flavien Guerin couldn't finish the play. Flavien Guerin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Joey Watrin in the 75th minute of play forced Plaine's goalkeeper Constantin Contal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Denis Laur charged in rather forcefully in the 76th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Denis Laur the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. If Flavien Guerin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Flavien Guerin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Teddy Lachaise having to interfere. The Portes support was delighted with a win in a match that could easily have ended differently.
