Lineup: Lapostolle - Poignet, Imbert, Sabathier, Dellac - Ndiour, Vuillermoz, Courtet, Guene - Larvor, Zakkar.

Neudorf had chosen a strategic 4-3-3 formation. They fielded: Thomas - Veau, Jobard, Édmond, Mirallès - Démas, Hahn, Dumoulin - Gaillard, Cantais, Chiboub.

A mistake by the home side's central defence after 2 minutes allowed G. Dumoulin to score for Neudorf. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1.

The referee showed marcillat's S. Vuillermoz the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from S. Cantais after 27 minutes, and prevented Neudorf from going up another goal. After 30 minutes S. Cantais made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to N. Gaillard who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 0 - 3. With 34 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed J. Mirallès of Neudorf to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 4. After this, you could see that the players of Neudorf were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. After the ball was lifted in from the left, T. Veau was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 43 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, H. Guene got himself booked. The manager of marcillat was not happy. Halftime score was 0 - 4. Neudorf claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 73 percent.

The Neudorf players could smell victory in the air. N. Gaillard wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for C. Guesnon after 46 minutes. G. Dumoulin wanted to play on, but the Neudorf coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by V. Peneff. After a short break after 46 minutes, Neudorf seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. After 46 minutes, the Neudorf players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. R. Chiboub could have put his team up another goal 61 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. After 70 minutes, Neudorf's C. Guesnon burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 5. The coach of Neudorf was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 75 minutes, O. Kantoussan came on for S. Cantais. marcillat's Y. Imbert left the field after 76 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was A. Brieu. The visitors' T. Veau took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 78 minutes into the match. 0 - 6 for Neudorf. With 85 minutes played, Neudorf put themselves up 0 - 7 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was J. Mirallès. Neudorf had most of the ball, with 77 percent of possession.
