Olympique 0 - 7 SOISY (380328575)

9712 punters turned up at SCO Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Mats Andersson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jan Adolfsson and Hendrik Test. Olympique had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players took the field: Pointeau - Goret, Guegan, Le Du, Lécluse - Malin, Guibert, Leurent, Lechat - Deloge, Meriah.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for SOISY. Starters: Trocchi - Szilveszter, Queralt, Brezak - Votsis, Knap, Leroy, Loula, Maurel - De Laet, Hauchard.

Given a free kick close to the byline, SOISY tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let K. De Laet slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 1, 24 minutes into the game. The visitors added to their lead 27 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by SOISY's M. Maurel slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 2. After 29 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Olympique found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to poor. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. SOISY enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 74 percent of possession.

The Olympique players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a passable organisation when the game started again. Content with how the game was proceeding, the SOISY coach let J. Kourilehto replace S. Leroy after 46 minutes. 66 minutes into the game a free kick by M. Maurel found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making SOISY's lead 0 - 3. Č. Loula left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 66 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. A. Grygorenko was the replacement. The SOISY players could smell victory in the air. J. Knap wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for A. Olcese after 66 minutes. A drive down the left side allowed K. De Laet to get in close and score another goal for SOISY after 67 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of SOISY lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. SOISY increased their lead after 70 minutes when J. Kourilehto broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. After 73 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave K. De Laet a chance to increase the lead for SOISY, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 6. By then K. De Laet had scored three goals - a hat trick! The visitors' M. Maurel took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 77 minutes into the match. 0 - 7 for SOISY. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for M. Maurel. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by SOISY, with 72 percent of the ball.

Olympique's top performer was clearly H. Deloge. J. Meriah turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating SOISY player was without a doubt M. Maurel. A. Olcese on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 7.
