    Referee: Mickaël Leleu

    Notes
    1. Although the match finished 3–0 to Caen, a challenge was lodged over the eligibility of substitute Dieudonné Gaucho, with the claim being that the player was under a suspension.[8] The challenge was upheld by the FFF on 27 December 2022, meaning Caen were disqualified from the competition, and AF Virois qualified for the next round.[9]
