Stade Lèque
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Jacob Fourrier started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jacob Fourrier in the 7th minute of play forced Clusaz's goalkeeper Germain Dulin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Lèque's Tim Lafont played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Marcel Verot in the 13th minute of play. Yann Le Strat charged in rather forcefully in the 15th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Yann Le Strat the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Germain Dulin was out of position in the 19 minute of play, and Jacob Fourrier capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Jacob Fourrier really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0.

Jacob Fourrier had several of the Clusaz's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 33 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal.

After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, Nelson Duchemann managed to get in a good position for a shot.

The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Clusaz booed when Lèque was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 61 match minutes in a wonderful position. Damien Cyrille didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 62nd minute of the match Louison Fonseca shot from a long distance.
