The first half proved to be a nightmare for the home team. As observers noted, this opening period was 'unworthy' of the level expected at this stage of the competition.

Unfortunately for the US Laval teammates, the effort was not enough. The Fougères players held firm in the final moments to win 69-66, a margin of just three points. A bitter defeat for the Mayennais, who will need to analyze this game to correct the many flaws seen, particularly the inability to maintain a consistent level throughout the entire game. Fougères, for their part, finally returns to victory after a difficult period.
