K Mathys Dupont added the extra point to give Paris a 7-0 lead with 9:12 minutes left in the first quarter.

The Mercenaries were forced to punt on their second drive, but after a bad snap the punter just fell on the ball at the Helvetic 32-yard line. Paris then wasted no time as Henderson threw a 32-yard scoring strike to Tekedam. The PAT gave the Musketeers a 14-0 lead with 5:06 minutes left in the first quarter.

On their third possession the Mercenaries got close to midfield, only to turn the ball over on downs after two straight stops by the defense. The Musketeers offense moved the ball with ease once again thanks to a 36-yard run by Khandar. On the next play WR Austin Mitchell scored on a 4-yard run. Dupont kicked the extra point to give Paris a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. 

The second quarter started with another Musketeers big-play. After the defense forced yet another punt, the snapped ball went over the punter's head. The punter then tried to kick the ball out of the endzone for a safety, but the ball just rolled around and finally was recovered by Achiepi in the endzone for a touchdown. The PAT was missed, but Paris extended its lead to 27-0 with 13:20 minutes left in the second quarter. 

A strong kickoff return by DB Devan Burrell gave the Swiss the ball at the opposing 39-yard line. It was the first time the Mercenaries crossed midfield, but the drive ended on the other side of the midfield-line. After a bad snap Gnahoua recovered the ball at the Helvetic 37-yard line. A couple of strong runs by Khandar and a catch by Tekedam brought Paris close to the goal line. Henderson then finished the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run. The score was 33-0 with 9:41 minutes left in the second quarter. 

One offensive snap later Paris had the ball again. King intercepted a pass from Helvetic QB Josiah Norwood and returned the ball to the 12-yard line. Again it was Henderson, who celebrated in the endzone, this time after a 12-yard scoring run. 9:11 minutes were still left in the second quarter. Paris was up 40-0.

The Mercenaries tried everything to get something going, even going for it on fourth down in their own territory. But the Parisian defense stopped it, giving their own offense a short field once again. Henderson scored his 3rd rushing touchdown of the first half, giving Paris a 47-0 lead with 4:40 minutes left inthe second quarter. 

35 seconds later the Musketeers scored again. After their defense forced another three-and-out Mitchell returned the punt 67 yards for a touchdown. Dupont's extra point made it 54-0.
