Joël Lhôte ran back to his position shaking his head. 28 minutes into the match, Excenevex's Quentin Chapron sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Frédéric Bréheret narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

It was beautiful to see Beaulieu's Alphonse Dubuisson in action when he in the 56th minute dribbled his way through a couple of opponents and the fired away a shot from almost standing still. First the ball seemed to get in, but turned out to be on the outside of the net. A great chance!

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Quentin Chapron in the 77th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Frédéric Bréheret saved Beaulieu from getting behind. Quentin Chapron had several of the Beaulieu's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 77 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal.
