After several clear chances, it ended in a draw. Benoit Storbois' players forced the decision with two goals in extra time.
The match started off fairly calmly. By maintaining a high press and the ball on the ground, the Portuguese gradually increased the pressure on the opposition defense and found the first goal, as Souleymane Touré recovered a cross from the right flank victoriously (10th). The blue waves doubled before RCA resurfaced and tried to build. In the 20th minute, Adam Noah saw the Portuguese goalkeeper launch a powerful shot that headed towards the goal. Then the match became more difficult and yellow cards began to be distributed.
Encouraged by their coach during the break, the RC Amiens players entered the second half with more ambition. In turn, they dominated, but they missed the final pass for a long time. But thanks to a ball won to the right of the opponent's defence, Lucini Mete succeeded in equalizing in the 75th minute.
