Stade Milly
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Fabrice Abelard got the match started through his kick off. Mario Gilquin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Paul-Henri Miclo stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Fabrice Abelard's shot from short distance in the 7th minute. In the 11th minute, Milly's Luka Jamot seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Luka Jamot the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Milly protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Luka Jamot had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Mario Gilquin struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. Paul-Henri Miclo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Milly. After 18 minutes, Titouan De Oliveira mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Cagny and the Milly players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Cagny's Titouan De Oliveira got a free kick in the 18th minute. Mario Gilquin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paul-Henri Miclo having to interfere. Léonard Matte sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Milly's Samuel Miller got a good chance for a goal in the 31st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 32nd minute Léonard Matte shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sacha Guyonvarch saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 33rd minute Léonard Matte shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sacha Guyonvarch saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mario Gilquin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Paul-Henri Miclo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Mario Gilquin came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the Milly 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 Mario Gilquin couldn't finish the play. A collision led to Milly getting a freekick after 45 minutes play. Charles-Henri Cretin hit a great ball. If Hamid Niel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 49th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Léonard Matte was the one to do the kick off. Paul-Henri Miclo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mario Gilquin, who was totally free with the ball in the 56th minute. If Mario Gilquin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hamid Niels short, quick shot in the 69thth minute got Sacha Guyonvarch to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. After some fancy dribbling in the 72nd minute, Léonard Matte managed to get in a good position for a shot. Cagny's supporters rose to their feet, but Léonard Matte was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sacha Guyonvarch breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 73rd minute, Malik Moutarde hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Milly's Sacha Guyonvarch proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 75th minute of the match, managed to save Milly from getting a goal against them. Léonard Matte recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 79th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Sacha Guyonvarch took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hamid Niel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Hamid Niel's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Sacha Guyonvarch firmly grabbed it by the left post. Mario Gilquin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paul-Henri Miclo having to interfere. A collision led to Cagny getting a freekick after 87 minutes play. Rudy Waxin hit a great ball. If Mario Gilquin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jeers came from both ends of the stadium when the final whistle went. Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
