Clermont Foot 63 started the match on the right foot by imposing their rhythm on their opponents. At the 7th minute, Matteo Guerreiro opened the score with a magnificent volley that exploded with joy in the Clermont camp (1-0). The Rouge & Bleu continued their demonstration and, just six minutes later, Loïc Kouame doubled the score after a superb collective action (2-0, 13th). Led by an inspired and conquering collective, the Clermontois continued to suffocate the Monégasques. At the 31st minute, Jean-William Nyindong came to reward the Auvergne domination by scoring the third goal of the match at the end of a very beautiful collective movement (3-0). Monaco managed to reduce the gap just before the break, but this score did not reflect the overall dominance of the first period by CF63, who could have even increased their advantage. At the return of the teams, AS Monaco showed better intentions and put more pressure on the Clermont defense. Facing the opposing attacks, the men of Clermont Foot showed great solidarity and could count on an imperial Reynaud in goal, author of several decisive saves to preserve their advantage. As the Monégasques pushed to come back, the Clermontois showed a clinical realism in counter-attack. In stoppage time, Sael Diomande sealed the fate of the match by scoring the fourth goal of Clermont Foot (90'+3, 4-1). Monaco scored a final goal for the anecdote in the last instants, but it did not change the outcome of this semi-final: 4-2 victory for Clermont Foot 63!
