Eymeric Jacquemot showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Darren Bourlon, who was totally free with the ball in the 4th minute.

Valentin Piriou kicked well hit freekick during the 8th minute of the match. Jean-Christophe Marmet was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 9th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Through an outstanding action, after 14 minutes, Gregory Ferran successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post.

Eymeric Jacquemot tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 29 minutes into the match, Jenlain's goal looked a bit too open when Gabriel Chirat came free, but Gregory Ferran reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Reynald Exbrayat sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

In the 46th minute, one of Jenlain:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Jenlain.

It seemed to be an obvious goal in the 64th minute, but Eymeric Jacquemot got his fingers on the ball or the save, leaving Lande hanging dry this time. In the 66th minute of the match Raoul Derenne shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Gregory Ferran showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. The supporters of Jenlain booed when Lande was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 70 match minutes in a wonderful position. Malcom Clarac didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Edgard Manent had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. With a little luck, Lande's Eymeric Jacquemot got control of the ball when Darren Bourlon tried to sneak it across the goal line. Lande's Malcom Clarac pulled a muscle in his leg after 76 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Valentin Piriou charged in rather forcefully in the 76th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Valentin Piriou the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 76 played minutes Jenlain got a freekick which was hit by Valentin Piriou. Eymeric Jacquemot made a fantastic save in the 80th minute, when Darren Bourlon sent off a good shot on target. Darren Bourlon could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 82nd minute of the match, but Eymeric Jacquemot made a huge save. When Edgard Manent came up free with the goalie in the 84th minute, the Jenlain 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 Edgard Manent couldn't finish the play. In the 91st minute, Reynald Exbrayat ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Gregory Ferran was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1. Guy Valla hit a great freekick 95 minutes into the match. Reynald Exbrayat took the ball and in the 99 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gregory Ferran. Gregory Ferran dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-1. Jenlain's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
