Mionnay 0 - 3 COP (370313538)

44742 punters turned up at La Tanière, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Cristian Tabacu was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ewold Simonis and Henrik Mårtensson. Mionnay started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. They fielded: Delâtre - Lecointe, Guignard, Jenayah, Melin - Auge, Aliane, Le Roux, Coulon - Louineau, Duflos.

COP decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Espíndola - Lust, Aires, Compagnoni - Søreng, Hafi, Nata, Sarlet, Biagioni - Sénès, Jaffre.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Mionnay. 10 minutes into the game, E. Hafi had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. F. Bordet was called on to replace Mionnay's Y. Le Roux after 11 minutes following a nasty collision. 0 - 1 was the score with 27 minutes played, after F. Aires cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for COP. COP's G. Biagioni placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but F. Aires couldn't finish. The home crowd was not impressed when F. Compagnoni came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 32 minutes. COP were now up 0 - 2. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. COP had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

T. Sénès could have put his team up another goal 74 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. After 75 minutes COP's E. Hafi limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. After 79 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed Y. Jaffre to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of COP lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by COP, with 60 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Mionnay player was without a doubt G. Duflos. F. Bordet was a disappointment, however. E. Hafi performed admirably for COP. However, F. Compagnoni made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 3.
