Boulogne vs. Grenoble

Striker Gregory Thil scored a first-half double for the home side, while Grenoble hit back immediately after the interval, when Daniel Ljuboja netted in.

And Nicolas Dieuze gave the home side a scare when he had an effort disallowed for offside in the 89th minute, to Grenoble's dismay.

Boulogne began the first half brightly with Zargo Toure headed just wide from six yards in the seventh minute.

Meanwhile, Thil missed a series of chances, the first being when he broke clear of the Grenoble defence but being denied by Jody Viviani's save, as the goalkeeper won their one-on-one duel.

And minutes later Thil would found himself in a near identical position again in the 22nd minute with Viviani coming out on top, yet again.

However Thil's first goal arrived 11 minutes later when Alexandre Cuvillier crossed from the left for Thil to convert, right-footed, at the far post.

And he would double Boulogne's lead in the 38th minute when midfielder Damien Marcq's 30-yard deflected strike would find Guillaume Ducatel, who would play a decisive pass. Thil avoiding the attentions of marker Sandy Paillot and beating the advancing Viviani.

However, the two-goal lead at half-time was slashed in half after just 40 seconds of the re-start, when Josip Tadic fed a pass through to Ljuboja and he placed his finish to the right of goalkeeper Mathieu Valverde.

Grenoble began to dominate possession although they struggled to create decent chances, and it could have been 3-1 to the hosts with six minutes remaining, however Toure's header from Johann Ramare's corner lacked power and Viviani collected the ball safely.

Then came the goal which was disallowed to Grenoble's frustration, as Dieuze broke free and had only goalkeeper Mathieu Valverde to beat.

He succeeded in putting the ball past Valverde and into the goal, but the linesman's flag denied him an equaliser
