William Anton had several of the Nancy's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 18 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-0 score and a disappointed Hector Baudon as he didn't even see the shot coming. Georges Martinetti recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 23rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 28 played minutes Nancy got a freekick which was hit by Richard Gilibert.

In the 40th minute, Youri Goupy hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 42nd minute, Thierry Cresson sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Nancy's Hector Baudon didn't even have to move.
