After a successful season, Roma have decided to change their system and push for top 4 in Season 2. This time the Italians lined up with an offensive back 3 of two fullbacks and a midfielder. The newcomer Lúdvík Stefánsson leading the attack behind Henry Kamel and Rizzo to replace the departing attacking mid Ray Peest. On the other side, newly promoted team Nomades de Paris went in with a defensive 5-3-2 at home with Jimmy Snaz in attack and the fan favourite midfield trio of Jimmy Piston, Robert Roux and Barry Semen.

Roma dominated possession right from the first half whistle and at 13th minute Lúdvík Stefánsson scored the opening goal, assisted by Rizzo with a low cross. Nothing much happened in the remaining first half with very few chances from both sides.

After the start of second half Paris tried to press high up the pitch and both teams looked even with the ball, but as soon as Roma got possession on a counter at 54th minute, Rizzo headed the ball towards Paris goalkeeper and the center back Elliot Hamm scored an own goal as Paris defense couldn't handle the pressure by Roma attack. At 89th minute Robert Roux made it 1-2 with a free-kick. While home fans were hoping for an equalizer, Roma kept possession for the last few minutes and immediately replied with a goal as substitute Freulerista made way for Lucca Rizzo who made it 1-3 at 92nd minute.
