Stade Tignet
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jules Clarac kicked off to start the match. After having played for 16 minutes, Desire Augustine managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tignet's supporters crossed their fingers, but Desire Augustine was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 21 minutes of play, Florange's Jules Clarac made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rudy Alquier was left in no man's land by his defense there! Louison Percheron took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Desire Augustine, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Jules Clarac sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Allan Carbon kicked well hit freekick during the 28th minute of the match. A hard shot by David Cantaloube from long distance, 33 minutes into the match, got Louison Percheron's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. 34 minutes into the match, Florange's goal looked a bit too open when Desire Augustine came free, but Louison Percheron reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 36 minutes into the match, Stanislas Hautecoeur had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rudy Alquier.

Louison Percheron made an important save on a dangerous shot by Benoit Giquel in the 40th minute. Desire Augustine blasted a shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Louison Percheron having to make a save.
