Spectators: 7406 (Terracing: 5555, Seating: 1703, VIP seats: 148) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Hakim Hermand started the match with the kick off. Inter Stella 5555's Thibault Poiret got a good chance for a goal in the 4th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. A hard shot 6 in the game by Thibault Poiret from a close distance when the talented Willy Marchetti managed to make a qualified save. Etoile Carouge FC's players were relieved. The crowd rose to their feet as Inter Stella 5555's Junior Perdriau slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Willy Marchetti. That made the score 1-0 after 11 minutes of play. Michaël Chaperon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Willy Marchetti tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Junior Perdriau's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Willy Marchetti read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 18th minute of play.

The audience thought a goal was coming when Éthan Labarthe got free with Willy Marchetti in the 30th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Thibault Poiret had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When Éthan Labarthe came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the Inter Stella 5555 fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Éthan Labarthe couldn't finish the play. Éthan Labarthe recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 34th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 37 minutes into the game, Hakim Hermand cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Manuel Brodin was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

A throw-in in the 52nd minute of the game was made by Josselin Jegat with Hakim Hermand as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. After 54 minutes of play, Inter Stella 5555's Thibault Poiret made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Willy Marchetti was left in no man's land by his defense there! Raymond Tosi charged in rather forcefully in the 60th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Raymond Tosi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Etoile Carouge FC's Raymond Tosi got a free kick in the 60th minute. If Malik Al Attar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute.

Thibault Poiret fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Willy Marchetti having to interfere. When Michaël Chaperon came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the Inter Stella 5555 fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Michaël Chaperon couldn't finish the play. In the 71st minute Thibault Poiret shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Willy Marchetti saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 73 minutes into the match, Thibault Poiret had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Willy Marchetti. Etoile Carouge FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Thibault Poiret was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. Barnabé Amory could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 79th minute of the match, but Manuel Brodin made a huge save. In the 83rd minute, Éthan Labarthe got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 84th minute, Lorenzo Jalabert hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Etoile Carouge FC's zone, Romain Ganne stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Willy Marchetti came out of the goal and Romain Ganne tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Manuel Brodin was a little too slow when Raymond Tosi got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 89th minute. The score was now 3-2. In the 93rd minute, Éthan Labarthe left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.
