Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Renan Grandin made the kick off which started today's match. Fernand Palau fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mustapha Valli having to interfere. Mâlon's Renan Grandin got a good chance for a goal in the 6th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 10 minutes into the match, Fernand Palau notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Sin's Mustapha Valli. Mustapha Valli was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In a very dangerous position, a player in Sin fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 13th minute. Penalty! Mustapha Valli took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fernand Palau, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some fancy dribbling in the 21st minute, Rayanne Leca managed to get in a good position for a shot. Sin's supporters rose to their feet, but Rayanne Leca was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Joachim Tourneux breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a rather tough play, Sin's Paul Castagne got a free kick in the 24th minute. If Rayanne Leca had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rayanne Leca received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Joachim Tourneux tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Paul Castagne in the 38th minute of play forced Mâlon's goalkeeper Joachim Tourneux to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Mâlon's Joachim Tourneux played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Paul Castagne in the 45th minute of play. Joachim Tourneux made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Paul Castagne in the 48th minute of play. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

In the 54th minute Renan Grandin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mustapha Valli saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 61stth minute of the game Renan Grandin who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Sin's Mustapha Valli was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. If Rayanne Leca had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 68th minute, Grégoire Belmont hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 69th minute of the match Clovis Laugier sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Joachim Tourneux skillfully saved the ball. Sin's Rayanne Leca got a good chance for a goal in the 76th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Rayanne Leca took the ball and in the 84 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Joachim Tourneux. Joachim Tourneux dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-3. 90 minutes into the game, Raoul Bouteiller was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Sin's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Mâlon the free kick. The supporters of Mâlon booed when Sin was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Raoul Bouteiller didn't get a good kick on the ball. Mâlon's Renan Grandin got a good chance for a goal in the 93rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Mâlon had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
