Allières's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Herlies the free kick. After a rather tough play, Allières's Hocine Sagnard got a free kick in the 10th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 16th minute, Pierrick Chalvet managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Marvin Pillot's late challenge caught a Herlies's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Marvin Pillot helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Herlies booed when Allières was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marvin Pillot didn't get a good kick on the ball. 18 minutes into the game, Pierrick Chalvet cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Noel Dupin was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Yves Vital fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Salomon Laplagne having to interfere. When Philippe Colpin fell near the penalty area in the 28th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Herlies's protests and gave Philippe Colpin a yellow card for diving instead. Julien Marescaux was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 31st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Philippe Colpin hit a great freekick 33 minutes into the match. When Allières's Jason Hidalgo in the 36th minute got a chance for a shot 36th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Herlies's goalie prevented a goal. When Jason Hidalgo came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the Allières 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 Jason Hidalgo couldn't finish the play.

Allières's supporters rose to their feet, but Jason Hidalgo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

In the 48th minute the ball was on its way in behind Allières's goalkeeper Noel Dupin, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Jason Hidalgo to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 52nd minute Jason Hidalgo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Salomon Laplagne saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Yves Vital had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Herlies getting a freekick after 59 minutes play. Philippe Colpin hit a great ball. After 66 minutes Herlies's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Julien Marescaux who took care of the corner kick. The corner led Allières's Julien Marescaux to fire away a dangerous shot which Salomon Laplagne despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Yves Vital fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Salomon Laplagne having to interfere. Jason Hidalgo scored 1-1 in the 73rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Salomon Laplagne, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Pierrick Chalvet sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Frederic Dubroca received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 94th minute. Noel Dupin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
