The wings were the focus of most of bouilland's attacks today. After 3 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Vieux-Rouen was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. O. Frederberg caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 8 minutes. This gave Vieux-Rouen the 1 - 0 lead. The bouilland players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. As the game started to slip away for bouilland, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. Cheers filled the stadium as C. Morand broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Vieux-Rouen. Vieux-Rouen increased the lead as A. Bordogna struck to make the score 3 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Vieux-Rouen had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

The bench was restless, and with 46 minutes passed bouilland's coach gave J. Osca the opportunity the player had been hoping for. Y. David reluctantly left the field. bouilland needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 46 minutes M. Pirttimäki made way for T. Garay. Å. Östflod didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. K. Smelý increased the lead for Vieux-Rouen to 4 - 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! By now, the players in Vieux-Rouen felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Vieux-Rouen had to make a substitution after 78 minutes. D. Tainta limped off the field and was replaced by E. Duyn. After 79 minutes, S. van Blerk came close to reducing the score with a free kick aimed near the left post, but L. Berardengo warded the ball off to a corner. Vieux-Rouen enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Most important Vieux-Rouen player was O. Frederberg. On the other hand, L. Berardengo's play was disheartening. K. Vestergaard performed admirably for bouilland. However, J. Osca made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 0.
