If Cyrille Petitjean had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gauthier Peyrard charged in rather forcefully in the 10th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Gauthier Peyrard the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.

After 15 played minutes Bouvines got a freekick which was hit by Sacha Damien. 17 minutes into the match, Bouvines's goal looked a bit too open when Léopold Cornic came free, but Pierrick Gory reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 24 minutes into the game, Sacha Damien recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Daniil Ginetsinskiy. Sacha Damien showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. Samir Heuze hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. Sacha Damien sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

In the 45th minute, Cyrille Petitjean 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. After 46 played minutes Bouvines got a freekick which was hit by Samir Heuze. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Cyrille Petitjean was the one to do the kick off. After having played for 52 minutes, Léopold Cornic managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Lampertheim's supporters crossed their fingers, but Léopold Cornic was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Bouvines's Pierrick Gory played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Léopold Cornic in the 53rd minute of play. In the 54th match minute, Lampertheim was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eliott Colette to maneuver through the defense. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Sacha Damien in the 57th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Daniil Ginetsinskiy prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Lampertheim's Léopold Cornic managed to work through Bouvines's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Léopold Cornic dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. 61 minutes into the match, Lampertheim's Eliott Colette sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Pierrick Gory narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Pierrick Gory showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Thomas Rascle in the 65th minute of the match. In the 71st minute, Roger Mairet hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Léopold Cornic struck a weak shot in the 74th minute. Pierrick Gory didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lampertheim. Fernand Groleau kicked well hit freekick during the 78th minute of the match. Pierrick Gory was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Eliott Colette showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 2-1 in the 80 minute of play. When Léopold Cornic came up free with the goalie in the 83rd minute, the Lampertheim 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 Léopold Cornic couldn't finish the play. In the 85th minute Cyrille Petitjean shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Daniil Ginetsinskiy saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 86th minute, Léopold Cornic left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Lampertheim fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-2. Daniil Ginetsinskiy showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sacha Damien, who was totally free with the ball in the 96th minute. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
