Stadium Aimé Giral
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Felix Letertre started the match with the kick off. Alban Guedj was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 5th minute. Rutel's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 7th minute, César Caudron hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 8th minute, Rutel's Rodolphe Metais ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Malcom Chaume. Malcom Chaume yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. In the 11th minute, Alban Guedj 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. Malcom Chaume was out of position in the 21 minute of play, and Alban Guedj capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Alban Guedj really showed his touch with that goal: 2-1. Ferdinand Culot took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mathieu Davy, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 26th minute, Theo Galibert hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rutel's Ferdinand Culot played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Felix Letertre in the 29th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Coronacity's zone, Alban Guedj stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Malcom Chaume came out of the goal and Alban Guedj tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Rémi Fablet during the 31st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 31 played minutes Coronacity got a freekick which was hit by Rémi Fablet. Coronacity's defense didn't have a chance, in the 33rd minute, when Albano Etxekopar scored to the left of an out of position Malcom Chaume, making the score, 3-1. Coronacity's Rémi Fablet got his second yellow card of the match in the 38th minute. The referee ordered Rémi Fablet off the ground. In a very dangerous position, a player in Coronacity fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 38th minute. Penalty! With a little luck, Coronacity's Malcom Chaume got control of the ball when Rodolphe Metais tried to sneak it across the goal line. Alban Guedj received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Malcom Chaume tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 3-1.

The wind increased when Rodolphe Metais made the kick off in the second half. Malcom Chaume showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alban Guedj in the 65th minute of the match. In the 66th minute César Caudron shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ferdinand Culot saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 71 minutes into the game, Aziz Rousseau was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Coronacity's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Rutel the free kick.

In the 78th minute of the match, César Caudron tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Ferdinand Culot saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. 80 minutes into the match, Rutel's goalkeeper Ferdinand Culot had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Bilal Hubert. Rodolphe Metais recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 86th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Malcom Chaume made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Alban Guedj in the 89th minute of play. In the 92nd minute Alban Guedj shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Malcom Chaume saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Rutel's Albano Etxekopar in the 93rd minute got a chance for a shot 93rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Coronacity's goalie prevented a goal. If César Caudron had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 97 minutes into the match, Alban Guedj had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Malcom Chaume. Coronacity's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Alban Guedj was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 5-1.
