In the 41st minute Kylian Chabin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arthur Wittmann saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

In the 87th match minute, Plivien was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Constantin Bienfait to maneuver through the defense. Aigrefouin's Mario Degryse managed to work through Plivien's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Mario Degryse dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. After some careless play in the Plivien defense, Kylian Chabin kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Arthur Wittmann. The Plivien fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Arthur Wittmann should have stopped the shot.
