Clitouristes 2 - 4 Samourai (385858420)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Stade des Dunes saw a crowd turnout of 43810. Silvester Hanuš was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Teodors Plūmītis and Marijn Ruiter. Clitouristes had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Snoussi - Sève, Huikkola, Sourd - Pasturel, Tabuteau, Renard, Guyot, Lagnel - Molinier, Peñalver.

Samourai tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Zetterblom - Viron, Baji, Lavocat - Tapia, Baheux, Gilles, Mogame, Cupak - Garabedian, Farnese.

Clitouristes took the lead, 1 - 0, after a penalty 10 minutes into the match. E. Peñalver scored from the penalty spot. N. Baheux finished off a quick charge from the left of the field by chipping the ball just past the home side's keeper, making the score 1 - 1 11 minutes into the match. After 18 minutes, E. Peñalver sent the corner kick right to F. Guyot who headed it sharply past the keeper. 2 - 1! The visiting team's A. Mogame was able to score the 2 - 2 equaliser with a header 20 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. The visiting D. Farnese was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 24 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 2 - 3 was the score. 2 - 3 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Samourai, with 51 percent of the ball.

After 56 minutes Clitouristes's P. Huikkola limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. With the scoreboard showing that 58 minutes had been played, Samourai nearly put themselves up another goal after Y. Viron came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Mogame from Samourai a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 66 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Some fine movement on the left led to a Samourai goal after 71 minutes, making it 2 - 4. L. Lavocat was noted down as the scorer. Samourai had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

Clitouristes's top performer was clearly E. Peñalver. S. Snoussi turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Samourai player was without a doubt N. Baheux. Y. Viron on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 4.
