Stadio Communal
Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Stamatis Leontiou started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, klide13's goal looked a bit too open when Stamatis Leontiou came free, but Mourad Almeras reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Sokratis Symeonakis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Vaggelis Zimaras kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. In the 7th minute Eden Noë shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dionysis Loizos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 9th match minute, RO Army V55 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Manos Komaitis to maneuver through the defense. Emmanuel Deleuze scored 1-0 in the 11th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Dionysis Loizos, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 14th minute Louis Makris shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mourad Almeras saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Soulis Souanis during the 16th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of klide13 booed when RO Army V55 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. Soulis Souanis didn't get a good kick on the ball. Dionysis Loizos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jérôme Couvelard, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 26th minute, klide13's Alexis Amat seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Alexis Amat the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of klide13 protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Alexis Amat had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In a very dangerous position, a player in klide13 fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 25th minute. Penalty! If Sokratis Symeonakis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Freddy Rigot hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. RO Army V55's Stamatis Leontiou got a good chance for a goal in the 33rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Stamatis Leontiou in the 33rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Mourad Almeras saved klide13 from getting behind. Mourad Almeras didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Stamatis Leontiou went, in the 37th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sokratis Symeonakis in the 43rd minute of play forced klide13's goalkeeper Mourad Almeras to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Eden Noë to make the kick off. After 57 played minutes klide13 got a freekick which was hit by Léon Klinger. The audience thought a goal was coming when Stamatis Leontiou got free with Mourad Almeras in the 59th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 60th minute, Freddy Rigot hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Stamatis Leontiou who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 63rdth minute tested the skills of Mourad Almeras when he managed to save the team from getting behind. In the 66th minute Jérôme Couvelard shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dionysis Loizos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to RO Army V55 getting a freekick after 72 minutes play. Daniel Prodan hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 74th minute, Léon Klinger managed to get in a good position for a shot. klide13's supporters rose to their feet, but Léon Klinger was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Dionysis Loizos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Mourad Almeras took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Stamatis Leontiou, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

A very good chance. 95 minutes into the match, klide13's Léon Klinger sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Dionysis Loizos narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
