Jean-Cyrille N'Diaye helped the player get up and apologised. Jean-Cyrille N'Diaye kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match.

Bernin's supporters rose to their feet, but Édouard Decaux was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ramzy Roullet breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

Romain Deleris made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Darren Cozette in the 41st minute of play. After 49 minutes Vauhallan's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Salim Allaire who took care of the corner kick. Bernin's Salim Allaire was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Ramzy Roullet in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. After the first half Vauhallan were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.
