26366 spectators arrived at Marcel Louchard, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Omer Corbeij was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mario Introddi and Marcus Borgharts. Centulois tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Sassi - Devanne, Anne, Olsson - Smerilli, Lago, Landois, Aurousseau, Guyon - Corbet, Lavier.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for guilux. The following players took the field: Stephenson - Lejeune, Zigerlig, Roekito - Auffret, Dan, Kling-Spötzl, Wels - Larsson, Di Croce, Talaz.

The wings were the focus of most of Centulois's attacks today. Against a lesser team, Centulois could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 2 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 15 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from H. Anne, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. Centulois's A. Guyon was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - E. Smerilli managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 2 - 0 after 31 minutes. A. Guyon should probably have put his team up another goal after 33 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by C. Stephenson kept the visitors in the game. Centulois managed to extend their lead to 3 - 0 when C. Lavier cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Centulois claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.

Things were going to get worse for the visitors. H. Anne squirmed through their central defence after 50 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0. The guilux players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Centulois, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Centulois increased the lead as C. Lavier struck to make the score 5 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Centulois had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. With 58 minutes played, Centulois put themselves up 6 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to C. Corbet, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. By now, the players in Centulois felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. A free kick just outside of the visitors' penalty area after 70 minutes could have resulted in another goal, but C. Stephenson got a hand out and tipped the ball over the bar. Coming from the right, C. Lavier almost managed to score another goal for Centulois, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. Possession in this half belonged to Centulois, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

Centulois's best player was C. Aurousseau. However, F. Lago made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating guilux player was without a doubt T. Talaz. On the other hand, D. Lejeune's play was disheartening. The match ends 6 - 0.
