Already in the 11th minute "Lens" made the first shot on goal, and E. Vahi opened the score. This goal set the tone for the match and the visitors started to look for new opportunities. "Clermont Foot tried hard to equalise, but instead received yellow cards. The first on 33 minutes was G. Kyei, who was sent off, which further increased the pressure on the home side.
