It was the players of David Guion and the Ukrainian Danylo Ignantenko who was close to opening the scoring but his shot grazed the right post of Brice Maubleu (59th).

Just entering the game, Mohamed Amine Sbaï dynamited the attack of Grenoble. After a feint kick which eliminated his opponent, he accelerated into the area before hitting the opposite post, but the ball did not turn enough (65th).
