MATCH REPORT
LE HAVRE vs AALBORG
League

13: RIO (of LE HAVRE) made a long pass right across the pitch which was received on the chest by DENIAUD who turned to attack AALSORG's goal. He waited for support, and before JESSEN could close him down he played a square ball into the path of MOREAU. The crowd could sense something was about to happen and the noise rose to deafening levels. MOREAU dummied the ball cockily past BOYE, finishing his run with a fine ball in toward the AALBORG box. It was COURTET who rose above the defence to deliver a header at goal. NIELSON stood dumb-struck as the ball zipped into the far corner for a totally terrific GOOOOOAAAAALLL!

18: COURTET and RIO collided in midfield and the ball ran loose to a surprised BOYE. He took up the attack for AALBORG. He held the ball up, waiting for support, and before DENIAUD could close him down he played a square ball into the path of DISSING. The crowd could sense something was about to happen and the noise rose to deafening levels. DISSING dummied the ball cockily past UVENARD and crossed a fine ball in toward the LE HAVRE box. JESSEN showed a great turn of speed to get to the ball first and slotted a tentative ball at goal. The goalie got a hand to it but succeeded only in pushing onto the inside of the post and into the net for a GOAL!

31: LE HAVRE's defence poorly cleared the ball and it fell nicely for AALBORG's THORST. His brave run ended with a fine cross toward the waiting head of JESSEN. The goalie was too slow to react and the ball found it's way mercilessly to the back of the net. The LE HAVRE defence looked on in disbelief. GOAL!

41: A midfield situation turned into an attack as LE HAVRE's COURTET made a fast sprint toward goal. On his heels were OUZOLTNIDIS and MOREAU leaving AALBORG's KRISTENSEN a problem on who to chase. He waited for support, and before BOYE could close him down he played a square ball into the path of DENIAUD. The crowd could sense something was about to happen and the noise rose to deafening levels. DENIAUD dummied the ball cockily past THOMSEN, finishing his run with a fine ball in toward the AALBORG box. It was DHORASOO who rose above the defence to deliver a header at goal. A cruel bounce wrong-footed NIELSON and he was powerless to prevent the ball from finding the back of the net (to the delight of the LE HAVRE fans) . GOAL!

HALF-TIME: 2-2

51: A midfield situation turned into an attack as LE HAVRE's DENIAUD made a fast sprint toward goal with DHORASOO following up in support. He hadn't got very far before he found himself unfairly body-checked by AALBORG's BOYE and he stumbled awkwardly to the ground. LE HAVRE~were awarded an indirect free kick.

52: OUZOUNIDIS quickly took LE HAVRE's free kick passing to an unmarked COURTET who took advantage of an off-guard THORST and made a dash toward the box. He turned inside to pass to RIO but AALBORG's THOMSEN was quick to close him down and unfairly knocked him of t the ball. LE HAVRE were awarded a direct free kick but it was a wild shot that was easily cleared to safety by AALBORG's defence.

61: LE HAVRE's defence cleared to MOREAU who's flick on put DHORASOO on the attack. Once round ROSENGREN and with FACIUS closing in he took a shot. NIELSON had closed the angle down but the ball zipped over his head and into the roof of the net. GOAL!

73: The opposing fans were embroiled in a chanting slanging match. Mean while AALBORG's keeper had thrown the ball to FACIUS who then knocked it on to THORST, who neatly chested it down, turned, and ran straight at the back tracking DHORASOO. COURTET crashed awkwardly into him but he kept his feet and passed to HJORTH. He took the ball wide, shrugged off a challenge from AGBO and crossed into the box. LE HAVRE's DENIAUD rose but it was the head of JESSEN that met the ball first. The LE HAVRE fans showed their appreciation as their goalie did a superb dive and cleanly caught the ball.

82: RIO and KRISTENSEN rose to meet a long kick from AALBORG's goalie. RIO managed to get his head to the ball but couldn't direct it. The ball fell invitingly for DISSING and AALBORG were back on the attack. He waited for support, and before MOREAU could close him down he played a square ball into the path of JESSEN. The crowd could sense something was about to happen and the noise rose to deafening levels. JESSEN dummied the ball cockily past AGEO, finishing his run with a fine ball in toward the LE HAVRE box. It was THOMSEN who rose above the defence to deliver a header at goal. It swerved viciously through the air and PIVETEAU saw it too late to react. GOOOOOOAAAL!
