Spectators: 8007 (Terracing: 6007, Seating: 1841, VIP seats: 159) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mustapha Bonnier kicked off to start the match. In the 6th minute Mustapha Bonnier shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jim Coquel saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Modeste Ramassamy fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jim Coquel having to interfere. 18 minutes into the game, Cédric Royere was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Bayern de Monique's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Neuville the free kick. After a rather tough play, Bayern de Monique's Cédric Royere got a free kick in the 18th minute. After 19 played minutes Bayern de Monique got a freekick which was hit by Jacques Flavigny. Neuville's Theo Stéphant played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Benjamin Baudrier in the 25th minute of play. After 24 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Neuville! After some careless play in the Bayern de Monique defense, Sabri Tritz kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jim Coquel. The Bayern de Monique fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jim Coquel should have stopped the shot. 45 minutes into the match, Neuville's Sabri Tritz sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jim Coquel narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Sabri Tritz recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 48th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Benjamin Baudrier to strike the kick off in the second half. After 52 minutes, Mustapha Bonnier mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Neuville and the Bayern de Monique players grew even worse after the yellow card. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Thibault Gleize during the 56th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Thibault Gleize hit a great freekick 56 minutes into the match. A collision led to Neuville getting a freekick after 76 minutes play. Hassan Maestracci hit a great ball. When Sabri Tritz came up free with the goalie in the 82nd minute, the Neuville 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 Sabri Tritz couldn't finish the play. Morgan Authier recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 84th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Sabri Tritz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 89th minute, Sabri Tritz fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Jim Coquel, passed just outside the right post. In the 93rd minute, Benjamin Baudrier left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.
