paisdelloira saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Slack defending gave Pluvigner a chance to take the lead with 12 minutes played, but L. Maleitas's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. After 13 minutes paisdelloira tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, L. Tommasini's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. The referee showed paisdelloira's P. Pilawka the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. They were singing the praises of M. Guesdon 33 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Pluvigner. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Pluvigner to 2 - 0 as P. Domingues finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Pluvigner scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for L. Maleitas after 39 minutes. After 41 minutes, Pluvigner sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached L. Maleitas, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 4 - 0. Confident in their lead, Pluvigner's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Halftime score was 4 - 0. Pluvigner had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

Pluvigner's N. Bokri saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 57 minutes. paisdelloira breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 58 minutes, but the home side's defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left rebounded off the crossbar. 70 minutes in, Pluvigner's P. Domingues received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. After 75 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by M. Simion might have resulted in another goal for Pluvigner. However, N. Berger made a spectacular save. The Pluvigner free kick 77 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 S. Pinel, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 5 - 0! Pluvigner claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.

The most dominating Pluvigner player was without a doubt J. Puchalski. On the other hand, J. Hupin's play was disheartening. Most important paisdelloira player was P. Pilawka. However, R. Lefebvre made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0.
