G. Pégard caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 10 minutes. This gave Fatal_77 the 1 - 0 lead. P. Lhermet finished off a quick charge from the left of the field by chipping the ball just past the home side's keeper, making the score 1 - 1 18 minutes into the match. 24 minutes into the game, J. Desnoyers almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. A lovely run by Peyrollais's S. Bonnet left his markers for dead and should have resulted in a goal, but the finish went just wide. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to V. Barnaud, but the Fatal_77 player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 2 - 1! Fatal_77 put themselves up 3 - 1 when D. Lafaye broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. By now, the players in Fatal_77 felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Halftime score was 3 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Peyrollais, with 56 percent of the ball.

The home side's D. Lafaye came close to extending the lead 61 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but P. Delebarre managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Fatal_77's G. Pégard increasing the lead to 4 - 1. A. Maës got left behind when Peyrollais's P. Lhermet made a sudden run forward after 72 minutes, finishing off with a neat strike. 4 - 2! Peyrollais managed to reduce the score to 4 - 3 as J. Desnoyers finished off a well-played combination from the left, easily carving through the defence. Peyrollais enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

Fatal_77's top performer was clearly A. Gatineau. S. Lafitte turned in a dismal performance, however. S. Bonnet performed admirably for Peyrollais. C. Pain was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 3.
