Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, 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. Steevy Jaffre started the match with the kick off. Samy Vandenbroucke kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. After having played for 7 minutes, Alexis Pecheux managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Gorra's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alexis Pecheux was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 9 minutes into the game, Morgan Tabard was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Gorra's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Perrinche the free kick. Perrinche's Sammy Hartmann couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 10th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Gorra. Romain Baran showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Steevy Jaffre in the 18th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Marin Galant in the 32nd minute of play forced Perrinche's goalkeeper Christophe Brière to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Luis Plaisance sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 38th minute there was a penalty for Perrinche. Sammy Hartmann stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Romain Baran. 1-0. 42 minutes into the match, Gorra's goal looked a bit too open when Steevy Jaffre came free, but Romain Baran reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 43rd match minute, Perrinche was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Steevy Jaffre to maneuver through the defense. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Alexis Pecheux stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When the match clock showed 57 minutes, the score became 2-0 when Luis Plaisance sped through Gorra's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Romain Baran. Christophe Brière made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Alexis Pecheux in the 62nd minute of play. Christophe Brière stood somewhat misplaced when Alexis Pecheux came free in front of goal and shot 2-1 to the left of him in the 66 minute. Alexis Pecheux blasted a shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Christophe Brière having to make a save. When Alexis Pecheux came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the Gorra 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 Alexis Pecheux couldn't finish the play. In the 94th minute the ball was on its way in behind Gorra's goalkeeper Romain Baran, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After 94 minutes of play Gorra's Morgan Tabard was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. In the 95th match minute, Gorra was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Morgan Tabard to maneuver through the defense. In the 97th minute, Steevy Jaffre got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Perrinche's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
