Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Christian Castex made a kick off. Ibrahim Chapalain recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 53rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some careless play in the Le Stade Briochin UC defense, Rodrigue Davoust kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Tord Waller. The Le Stade Briochin UC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Tord Waller should have stopped the shot. After some fancy dribbling in the 64th minute, Christian Castex managed to get in a good position for a shot. Les Pionniers de Touraine's supporters rose to their feet, but Christian Castex was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tord Waller breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After having played for 69 minutes, Ibrahim Chapalain managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Les Pionniers de Touraine's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ibrahim Chapalain was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With his leg Tord Waller managed to avoid a goal in the 74thth minute, when Les Pionniers de Touraine's Christian Castex fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side.

In the 81st minute, Les Pionniers de Touraine's Christian Castex ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Tord Waller. Tord Waller yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 0-5.

Tord Waller made an important save on a dangerous shot by Rodrigue Davoust in the 89th minute.

When the final whistle sounded Les Pionniers de Touraine left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Le Stade Briochin UC.
