It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 25626 that came out to stade du coliseum. Li Hong was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Júlio César Neves Lima and Nils 'Torminatrinchen' Jansson. tamaris83 had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Mendes - Kirsimäe, Giroud, Rodríguez - Coze, Da Silva, Ladopoulos, Blanc, Mouret - Mainguet, Grippo.

Neudorf tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. Starters: Thomas - Édmond, Jobard - Mirallès, Démas, Peneff, Dumoulin, Veau - Gaillard, Cantais, Chiboub.

The wings were the focus of most of tamaris83's attacks today. Neudorf tried to focus their attacks down the middle. After 30 minutes J. Mirallès made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to S. Cantais who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 0 - 1. The sun seemed to put B. Mouret in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. There was concern in the stands when, at the 33 minute mark, Neudorf's J. Mirallès hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. After 36 minutes, G. Grippo made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 1 - 1. The home side put themselves ahead 2 - 1 after 38 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from P. Ladopoulos, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. After 39 minutes, the visitors levelled the scores after O. Jobard made it through the middle and struck home to make it 2 - 2. S. Cantais's lightning pace was too much for K. Kirsimäe who could only look on as the Neudorf player blasted one home. 2 - 3. It was 2 - 3 at the break. Neudorf claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

S. Cantais didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. J. Mirallès left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 61 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. B. Frizon was the replacement. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Neudorf coach let J. Desprès replace G. Dumoulin after 70 minutes. tamaris83's J. Coze was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 76 minutes. S. Cantais came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over D. Mendes but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. The home crowd cheered when, after 87 minutes, R. Chiboub's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from O. Jobard after 88 minutes, and prevented Neudorf from going up another goal. Neudorf had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

tamaris83's top performer was clearly D. Rodríguez. D. Mendes was a disappointment, however. Neudorf's best player was J. Desprès. However, A. Thomas made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 3.
