After 49 played minutes, Marquillies's Armand Milesi shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Youri Courvoisier came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Marquillies reached it. After the first half Marquillies were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

54 minutes into the match, Marquillies's goal looked a bit too open when Pierre Gacon came free, but Germain Fabiani reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
