A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Fatal_77. Lineup: Bourhis - Hermeline, Maës, Lafaye, Chaix - Pégard, Kounta, Lafitte, Barnaud - Gatineau, Proisy.

Slack defending gave a.s.s.t a chance to take the lead with 18 minutes played, but A. Leys's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. 21 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for a.s.s.t was R. Blot. A. Leys seemed highly inexperienced when, after 22 minutes, he was caught dilly-dallying with the ball and allowed A. Gatineau to intercept and strike home the goal for Fatal_77 to make the score 1 - 1. Fatal_77's D. Hermeline had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 24 minutes having been played. S. Genoux was the replacement. G. Pégard was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, Fatal_77's D. Lafaye managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 1 - 2 It was 1 - 2 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by a.s.s.t, with 71 percent of the ball.

The crowd chanted their encouragement as a.s.s.t's G. Even came in from the right after 49 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 2 - 2. After 67 minutes, following yet another great corner, S. Geay's flick on at the near post reached S. Julien, who was just wide with his snapshot - the ball went out for a goal kick. a.s.s.t fans held their breath as S. Julien scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 3 - 2! a.s.s.t's N. Renard increased the lead to 4 - 2, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 84 minutes. a.s.s.t's C. Lebrun refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 86 minutes. a.s.s.t enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 71 percent of possession.

The most dominating a.s.s.t player was without a doubt N. Renard. On the other hand, S. Combeau's play was disheartening. Most important Fatal_77 player was A. Gatineau. S. Lafitte was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 2.
