The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Rayanne Liot stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Bakary Coudret recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 59th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
