Perrinche's Joe Levi got a good chance for a goal in the 51st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Batiste Exbrayat was the one to do the kick off. When Jean-Michel Boissard came up free with the goalie in the 59th minute, the Perrinche 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 Jean-Michel Boissard couldn't finish the play. William Parra scored 2-0 in the 71st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Salomon Pirès, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 73rd match minute, Perrinche was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Samy Challet to maneuver through the defense. Batiste Exbrayat received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. Alexandre Pontonnier tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. William Parra recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 82nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 85th minute, Batiste Exbrayat got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Ilan Renaux struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Alexandre Pontonnier didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gabre. If Ilan Renaux had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Batiste Exbrayat recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 94th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
