faucheuse broke through on the left 5 minutes into the game, with H. Elderman firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. It was a bad day for the usually speedy J. Cabreira. The mud seemed to slow him down. faucheuse's B. Poeltl struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 2 - 0 after 14 minutes. A free kick just outside of the visitors' penalty area after 19 minutes could have resulted in another goal, but N. Fekih got a hand out and tipped the ball over the bar. Cheers filled the stadium as H. Elderman broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to faucheuse. U. Rinker could have put faucheuse up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 29 minutes. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. This part of the game was a standoff between the teams in terms of possession.

A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in faucheuse's J. Camargo increasing the lead to 4 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of faucheuse were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. M. Tod left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 80 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. H. Stenglin was the replacement. The cannonball from 35 metres by V. Caparvi of girondins was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. 85 minutes in, an amazing pass from the left side resulted in a goal for the visitors, as J. Royet anticipated the through ball and scored, reducing the deficit to 4 - 1. J. Cabreira had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team's keeper F. Le Guen was simply unbeatable. Possession in this half belonged to girondins, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

faucheuse's top performer was clearly J. Camargo. F. Le Guen turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating girondins player was without a doubt V. Caparvi. On the other hand, N. Fekih's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 1.
