Grilled Birds started the game in a 1-5-3 formation, whereas FC Saint-Claude lined up in a 2-5-3 formation. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, taking advantage of their extra-terrestrial level with that tactic.7 minutes into the game, Grilled seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a passable level of organisation.S. Bogătoiu's speed was almost enough to give Saint-Claude a goal after 26 minutes, but his nice pass to Á. Orsós was not taken care of properly.M. Saliman gave Grilled the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like R. Ferrère.K. Parvathaneni spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch.After 41 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Grilled found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to weak.G. Filippone could have increased the lead after 42 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park.The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0.Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

Trung Quá replace G. Filippone after 46 minutes.With G. Filippone no longer on the pitch, R. Isufi became the new set pieces taker.As the captain was no longer on the pitch, H. Trung Quá took over the role of being the Grilled captain.The bench was restless, and with 65 minutes passed Saint-Claude's coach gave A. Desmarest the opportunity the player had been hoping for. R. Ferrère reluctantly left the field.65 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as M.

Kermarrec showed great heart and had a good game.M. Saliman should probably have put his team up another goal after 74 minutes after breaking through the middle, but some great goalkeeping by V. Dreau kept the visitors in the game.Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Grilled, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity.The Grilled players could smell victory in the air.
