League Play-Off

Saint Aygulf
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Corentin Schaeffer started the match with the kick off. In the 10th minute Régis Mesnil shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dilan Cabane saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A hard shot 15 in the game by Lorenzo Letard from a close distance when the talented Dilan Cabane managed to make a qualified save. Ballainvilliers's players were relieved. Lorenzo Letard received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Dilan Cabane tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the match clock showed 19 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Corentin Schaeffer sped through Saint Aygulf's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Renan Bernon. After having played for 26 minutes, Thomas Sylla managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ballainvilliers's supporters crossed their fingers, but Thomas Sylla was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 28 minutes into the game, Pierre-Henri Sabot was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Saint Aygulf's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ballainvilliers the free kick. Pierre-Henri Sabot kicked well hit freekick during the 28th minute of the match. With a little luck, Ballainvilliers's Dilan Cabane got control of the ball when Lorenzo Letard tried to sneak it across the goal line. Renan Bernon made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Thomas Sylla in the 44th minute of play. In the 45th minute, Alexandre Crevel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Régis Mesnil made a kick off. Régis Mesnil hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. In the 53rd minute Corentin Schaeffer shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Renan Bernon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Régis Mesnil's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Dilan Cabane was relentless in the 55th minute of the game. The supporters of Saint Aygulf booed when Ballainvilliers was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 58 match minutes in a wonderful position. Frederic Le Page didn't get a good kick on the ball. Dilan Cabane showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Régis Mesnil in the 71st minute of the match. 76 minutes into the game, Régis Mesnil cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Dilan Cabane was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 83 minutes into the match, Ballainvilliers's goal looked a bit too open when Lorenzo Letard came free, but Dilan Cabane reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some careless play in the Saint Aygulf defense, Thomas Sylla kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Renan Bernon. The Saint Aygulf fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Renan Bernon should have stopped the shot. Ballainvilliers's Achille Leboulanger got a good chance for a goal in the 93rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 96th minute, Mohamed Tabouret 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. The Saint Aygulf supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Ballainvilliers's performance. The match ended with a win for Ballainvilliers.
