Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 21 minutes into the match left L.E.R's O. Barbeau completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. L.E.R's M. Battistini was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - M. Rossi managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 0 - 2 after 22 minutes. Given a free kick close to the byline, L.E.R tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let M. Rossi slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 3, 28 minutes into the game. M. Battistini increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 4. L.E.R increased their lead after 33 minutes when O. Barbeau broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. After this, you could see that the players of L.E.R were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. It was 0 - 5 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to L.E.R, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Some fine movement on the left led to a L.E.R goal after 47 minutes, making it 0 - 6. M. Rossi was noted down as the scorer. This third goal completed a hattrick for M. Rossi. The home crowd was not impressed when N. Moutel came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 52 minutes. L.E.R were now up 0 - 7. A. Cassez got a fingertip on A. Pinillos's shot from the left 61 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. L.E.R's C. Madeline got himself booked for a foul. L.E.R claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

Most important Goulaine player was A. Kastrioti. M. Kiprich on the other hand, had a terrible day. M. Rossi performed admirably for L.E.R. However, R. Cochet made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 7.
