Benjamin Mendy was acquitted of the rape of a 19-year-old woman on the direction of a judge.
Two counts of rape and one of sexual assault against the same woman were not proven against the defendants.
The foreman of the jury at Chester Crown Court gave the not guilty verdicts as instructed by the judge.
The jury was warned not to speculate as to why the prosecution decided not to pursue guilty verdicts in relation to the charges, and to try the defendants on the multiple charges they still face.
A private video of a woman having sex with a man was shown to the jury.
The 20-minute mobile phone video was taken by Matturie on August 1 last year, a week after both men had allegedly raped the same woman at the footballer's mansion.
The woman told the jury that after partying at China White nightclub in Manchester, Matturie sexually assault her for a second time at a flat in Salford.
According to the court, Lisa Wilding suggested that what happened between them was not rape.
The woman said the incident made her feel "shamed and disgusted".
When you had sex with him, he recorded it. He and you had a discussion about making a movie.
The witness didn't reply. I wouldn't do that, that's for sure.
He was having sex while he was on his phone.
The woman said she was unaware of that.
Ms Wilding asked if you looked at the camera more than once.
The woman said no after becoming emotional.
The sex took less than 20 minutes. On your knees, you had sex. You had sex with him while he looked at the camera.
Did you smile at the camera while sitting on top of him?
The woman didn't reply.
Ms Wilding said she would have to ask you to look at some images.
The prosecution told the court that they were not going to seek guilty verdicts in the case of the 19-year-old girl.
The jurors were told to acquit the defendants.
The rape charge against Mendy was dropped due to the fact that the woman who accused him of raping her woke up at his house.
According to the court, Matturie is accused of raping her on the same night, but she has no recollection of that. The count was dropped as well.
Mendy is accused of turning the pursuit of women for sex into a game.
Mendy is accused of rape, attempted rape, and sexual assault against six young women.
The footballer's friend is said to have found young women for sex.
Six counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault are still being denied by Matturie.
Both men agree that sex with women or girls was consensual.
The trial was put on hold until wednesday.
