After having played for 12 minutes, Gabin Galichet managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Portes's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gabin Galichet was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Sourcy's Guy Donzel proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 14th minute of the match, managed to save Sourcy from getting a goal against them. Guy Donzel showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Gabin Galichet in the 15th minute of the match.

The referee ignored Sourcy's protests and gave Marc-Antoine Ratel a yellow card for diving instead. In a very dangerous position, a player in Sourcy fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 17th minute. Penalty! Bacary Daussy shot the penalty kick by force right in the crossbar.

Terry Raffalli kicked well hit freekick during the 28th minute of the match. After 31 played minutes Portes got a freekick which was hit by Nathan Guerreiro. When Ghislain Oliver came up free with the goalie in the 35th minute, the Sourcy 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 Ghislain Oliver couldn't finish the play. Ewan Salvador showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gregoire Yonnet, who was totally free with the ball in the 36th minute.

Guy Donzel took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jean-Philippe Geneix, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

In the 70th match minute, Portes was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Blaise Canonne to maneuver through the defense.

In the 79th minute, Marc-Antoine Ratel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ghislain Oliver sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Guy Donzel came out of the goal in the 93rd minute to try and stop a shot by Portes's Gabin Galichet. But to his dismay, Gabin Galichet quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1. Portes's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
