TitiTim 3 - 1 Saint-Lô (385858424)

The 32129 fans in attendance at Liberty stadium were roasting in the hot sun. Francesc Cervelló was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Roman Filimonov and Alexander Hartmann. TitiTim had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Pöytäsaari - Patel, Beauger, Roman - Martin, Erez, Langlais, Garnier, Idone - Grolleau, Robichon.

Saint-Lô decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Ferment - Fouqueray, Foissy, Pausé - Reynard, Ferchichi, Belloy, Rouissi, Salles - Migeon, Barthel.

Saint-Lô decided to play creatively. TitiTim were awarded a penalty after 14 minutes of play, but L. Grolleau's shot skimmed just wide. Many thought F. Idone ought to have been awarded a penalty 20 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around J. Ferment after a determined run through the middle. 21 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for TitiTim was F. Idone. It was 1 - 0 at the break. TitiTim enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

The coach of TitiTim was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, T. Cabaret came on for R. Langlais. The home side's A. Patel came close to extending the lead 50 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but J. Ferment managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. The sun seemed to put F. Idone in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. The Saint-Lô free kick 70 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of L. Migeon, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 1 - 1! T. Cabaret found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. A. Erez gave TitiTim the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 2 - 1 Things were deteriorating for the away team as TitiTim scored another to make it 3 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for J. Robichon after 80 minutes. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, J. Robichon got himself booked. The manager of TitiTim was not happy. Possession in this half belonged to TitiTim, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

Most important TitiTim player was B. Garnier. J. Pöytäsaari turned in a dismal performance, however. J. Rouissi performed admirably for Saint-Lô. However, J. Reynard made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
