Pascal Duflot was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Farid Cantin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jean-Philippe Douchet's late challenge caught a Montanay's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

After some fancy dribbling in the 52nd minute, Jackson Douce managed to get in a good position for a shot. Lardenne's supporters rose to their feet, but Jackson Douce was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
