Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Hippolyte Marsaud made the kick off and thus started the match.

Salim Grossi kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match. Jason Grain recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 11th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 14th minute, Larny's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Gilles Peyrache fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. 17 minutes into the match, Mezelly's goal looked a bit too open when Benjamin Chapon came free, but Sidney Dorel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Benjamin Chapon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hippolyte Marsaud received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Theo Rambaud tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Jason Grain in the 30th minute of play forced Mezelly's goalkeeper Sidney Dorel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Theo Rambaud dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. Benjamin Chapon scored 1-2 in the 67th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Sidney Dorel, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a rather tough play, Larny's Melvin Mairot got a free kick in the 71st minute. After having played for 72 minutes, Gilles Peyrache managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mezelly's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gilles Peyrache was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Mezelly's zone, Benjamin Chapon stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Sidney Dorel came out of the goal and Benjamin Chapon tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Melvin Mairot was shown his second yellow card after 78 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. In the 79th minute, Melvin Mairot hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
