The French team's only goal was scored by 17-year-old Armenian midfielder Milan Gharibian, who came off the bench in the 60th minute.
Clermont were trailing 3-0 when Gharibian entered the pitch. Szymon Piasta scored twice for Legia (17th and 54th minutes), while Edouard von Brandt-Etchemendigaray added another goal in the 30th minute.
In the 55th minute, Legia's second goalscorer received a straight red card, leaving the Polish side with ten players.
In the 85th minute, Milan Gharibian scored a spectacular long-range goal following a corner-kick routine, reducing Clermont's deficit to two goals.
