League Play-Off

Stade Chessy
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Malcom Mestre kicked off to start the match. Bouscat's Claude Mandin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tristan Bonnefond in the 8th minute of play. 11 minutes into the game, one of Bouscat:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. In the 19th minute, Denis Charleux left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bouscat fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. After 22 played minutes Chessy got a freekick which was hit by Nathan Lafage. The crowd rose to their feet as Chessy's Tristan Bonnefond slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Claude Mandin. That made the score 2-1 after 29 minutes of play. In the 33rd minute Malcom Mestre shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felix Moizan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Pascal Wawrzyniak had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 37th minute, Joseph Bidaud hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a rather tough play, Bouscat's Gaston Croix got a free kick in the 43rd minute.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Tristan Bonnefond was the one to do the kick off. Alex Manon kicked well hit freekick during the 52nd minute of the match. With an all-out effort, Bouscat's Felix Moizan threw himself towards the right post 53 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Malcom Mestre, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. If Denis Charleux had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tristan Bonnefond might have been able to make a better finish in the 58th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Claude Mandin. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Tristan Bonnefond ran back to his position shaking his head. Claude Mandin didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Pascal Wawrzyniak went, in the 58th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-1 was the resulting score. If Denis Charleux had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Pascal Wawrzyniak took the ball and in the 75 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Claude Mandin. Claude Mandin dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-2. In the 84th minute Malcom Mestre shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felix Moizan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 86th minute of the match Bouscat got a corner. Chessy's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Gaston Croix ran over to the corner to take the kick. Gaston Croix made a great header on Bouscat's corner, it was just that Chessy's Felix Moizan managed to reach the ball for a save. Claude Mandin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alex Manon, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Malcom Mestre sent away a hard shot on goal in the 93rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
