- 24' Assisted by Scotty Sadzoute with the perfectly-timed delivery and Romain Armand makes no mistake. 1-1!

- 31' USL Dunkerque is taking the lead after the goal scored by Cheick Diarra on 31.
- 36' The 36-year-old Xavier Kouassi has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
