Stade Eragny
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Francois Legendre's late challenge caught a Eragny's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain.

The supporters of Eragny booed when Diote was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 18 match minutes in a wonderful position. Francois Legendre didn't get a good kick on the ball.

A collision led to Diote getting a freekick after 24 minutes play. Xavier Fauchet hit a great ball. If Gustave Gravelle had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 27 minutes into the game, Barthelemy Berrou was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Diote's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Eragny the free kick. After 32 minutes, Albert Becot mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Eragny and the Diote players grew even worse after the yellow card. 40 minutes into the game, Diote's Brian Adnot nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Faustin Lagardere made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. Fabian Leroyer sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Brian Adnot to make the kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Yannick Goussard got free with Faustin Lagardere in the 52nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Gérard Porte fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bruce Studer having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Diote's zone, Gérard Porte stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bruce Studer came out of the goal and Gérard Porte tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 69 minutes into the game, Eragny's Gustave Gravelle nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Bruce Studer made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-2. Eragny's Faustin Lagardere played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Brian Adnot in the 77th minute of play. Bruce Studer took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gérard Porte, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Faustin Lagardere took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Brian Adnot, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 88 minutes into the match, Diote's Yannick Goussard sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Faustin Lagardere narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When Gustave Gravelle came up free with the goalie in the 92nd minute, the Eragny 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 Gustave Gravelle couldn't finish the play. Diote's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
