NANCY
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Freddy Coppack made the kick off which started today's match. When Southaven AFC's Freddy Coppack in the 3rd minute got a chance for a shot 3rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye C.A. ALDOSIVI's goalie prevented a goal. After a rather tough play, C.A. ALDOSIVI's Kerry Cotton got a free kick in the 5th minute. 5 minutes into the match, Southaven AFC's Aurelio Rainey broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After 13 played minutes C.A. ALDOSIVI got a freekick which was hit by Angelo Gibbons. 16 minutes into the match, Freddy Coppack notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of C.A. ALDOSIVI's Jessie Stevens. Jessie Stevens was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Louis Young took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Trent Donovan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Tommie Atkins hit a great freekick 23 minutes into the match. Emmitt Fields hit a great freekick 24 minutes into the match. C.A. ALDOSIVI's Jessie Stevens played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Weston Potter in the 27th minute of play. When Freddy Coppack came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the Southaven AFC 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 Freddy Coppack couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Freddy Coppack in the 36th minute of play forced C.A. ALDOSIVI's goalkeeper Jessie Stevens to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Freddy Coppack's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Jessie Stevens read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 39th minute of play. If Trent Donovan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With his leg Louis Young managed to avoid a goal in the 47thth minute, when C.A. ALDOSIVI's Ryan Winn fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 48th minute Freddy Coppack shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jessie Stevens saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Trent Donovan stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 61st minute, Freddy Coppack left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Southaven AFC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. Louis Young showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Trent Donovan in the 67th minute of the match. 72 minutes into the match, Southaven AFC's Weston Potter sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jessie Stevens narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 75th match minute, C.A. ALDOSIVI was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sanford Schwartz to maneuver through the defense. In the 77th minute Aurelio Rainey managed to get in a great position but fired away a sharp shot that went outside the goal on the goalie's right hand side. It could just as well have been a goal. In the 82nd minute, Freddy Coppack ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Jessie Stevens was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-3. In the 85th match minute, Southaven AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Tommie Atkins to maneuver through the defense. Freddy Coppack received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Jessie Stevens tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Weston Potter got free with Jessie Stevens in the 96th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Southaven AFC's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
