In search of its first victory of the season, the DFCO got off to a good start. The men of David Linarès, who was celebrating his debut as a head coach, were the first to be dangerous. Thus, on a corner, Bruno Ecuele Manga placed a header which did not catch the frame of Jean-Louis Leca (5th). Moussa Konaté then came up against the saving return of Loïc Badé (12th). Better inspired in the use of the ball, the Burgundy club delivered an interesting start to the match. Unfortunately, a meatball from Anthony Racioppi spoiled everything. Close to his goal line, the former Olympique Lyonnais goalkeeper tried a roulette wheel in front of Arnaud Kalimuendo, who finally managed to open the scoring against the course of the game by countering the release of the Swiss goalkeeper (0-1, 23rd ). Stunned by this goal, the DFCO took long minutes to raise its head. He finally succeeded at the end of the period and Moussa Konaté, again, forced Jean-Louis Leca to a beautiful parade on a cross strike low to the ground (41st). However, insufficient to return to the Sang-et-Or applied, who even had the last opportunity of this first act on a good free kick kicked from 30 meters by Corentin Jean. But this time, Anthony Racioppi did, and did well, the job by interposing perfectly (45th + 1).

After the locker room, the game resumed at a slightly more intense pace. Thus, on a free kick, Jordan Marié quickly unsheathed the first banderilla, out of frame (47th). The RCL replied via Florian Sotoca but the Artesian player also missed the target when he received a good cross deployed by Jonathan Clauss (58th). The entries of Gaël Kakuta and Ignatius Ganago after the hour mark (66th) then boosted the game of the Sang-et-Or a little more. The former striker of OGC Nice was also the most prominent man at the end of the game but came up against Anthony Racioppi (74th, 90th + 4), who also preserved the hope of his team by facing up to a new threatening attempt from Florian Sotoca (86th). A hope that turned out to be futile since the DFCO could not avoid another setback, despite a final clear opportunity for Mama Baldé (90th + 6). In the standings, the Burgundy club remains dead last (4 points). The RCL can have a smile. With its fifth success of the year, the Artesian club made its appearance in the first part of the table and climbed to ninth place (17 points).
