Berenger Paire scored 0-1 in the 7th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Dominique Brochet, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Octave Lascaux kicked well hit freekick during the 15th minute of the match.

Davy Mortelette blasted a shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Dominique Brochet having to make a save.

The supporters of Plesse booed when Courgasse was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Berenger Paire didn't get a good kick on the ball.
