Spectators: 7679 (Terracing: 5760, Seating: 1766, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Christophe Montaigne kicked off to start the match.

Augustin Boulnois was slow to take the kick. During this time Cats and dogs's players had a chance to rest. If Tony Jérémie had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gaétan Toullec made a fantastic save in the 10th minute, when Ged Pope sent off a good shot on target.
