Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 4471 to Auguste Delaune. Steve Jones was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Alberto Mantovan and Gerwazy Miller. SDReims decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Karakaya - Dumont, Boussemart, Delacour - Azoulay, Fernández, Barret, Holleville, Bore - Caprio, Queinnec.

Football had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. They fielded: Oury - Boinot, Lerond, Maillet, Rochard - Leboucher, Lavoine, Beausoleil, Coquart - Brouet, Ltifi.

After some beautiful movement down the left wing, S. Queinnec scored for SDReims putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 4 minutes. The home side failed to add to their score as V. Delacour shot a penalty wide after 16 minutes. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by SDReims, with 72 percent of the ball.

The home crowd just couldn't believe it when V. Delacour missed a penalty after 50 minutes of the match. A. Dumont increased the lead for SDReims to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! After 60 minutes, C. Azoulay put SDReims ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. The home side's J. Holleville came close to extending the lead 68 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but B. Oury managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. SDReims had most of the ball, with 70 percent of possession.

A. Caprio performed admirably for SDReims. However, S. Queinnec made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Football player was without a doubt P. Coquart. N. Maillet turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
