The hosts took the lead in this match when Benjamin Gavanon scored in the 52nd minute, but then Mathieu Bodmer and Mathieu Debuchy scored two goals in succession in six minutes and brought "Lille" ahead. The decisive blow into the "Nancy" net in the last minute of the match was made by Souleymane Youla with a precise shot.
