Spectators: 6736 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Cheikh Mamouni made the kick off which started today's match. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Ahmis Boukensa managed to get in a good position for a shot. Windlesham's supporters rose to their feet, but Ahmis Boukensa was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Mohamed El Ouazzani breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Zakaria Benguergoura scored 0-1 in the 6th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Mohamed El Ouazzani, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Cheikh Mamouni received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Chamseddine Bitat tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Barrow-in-Furness City's zone, Badaz Mezghenna stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mohamed El Ouazzani came out of the goal and Badaz Mezghenna tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After some careless play in the Barrow-in-Furness City defense, Zakaria Benguergoura kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Mohamed El Ouazzani. The Barrow-in-Furness City fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Mohamed El Ouazzani should have stopped the shot. Amellal Semghoun charged in rather forcefully in the 18th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Amellal Semghoun the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 19th minute, Mehdi Hamani hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Berkwan Rzighi fell near the penalty area in the 26th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Windlesham's protests and gave Berkwan Rzighi a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Windlesham's Berkwan Rzighi got a free kick in the 26th minute. 27 minutes into the match, Barrow-in-Furness City's Achour Boufroura broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Badaz Mezghenna fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mohamed El Ouazzani having to interfere. Mehdi Hamani hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. 35 minutes into the match, Abderrahmane Aribi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Chamseddine Bitat. Windlesham's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Abderrahmane Aribi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-3. Cheikh Mamouni struck a weak shot in the 44th minute. Chamseddine Bitat didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Barrow-in-Furness City. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-3 lead.

After 54 minutes of play, Barrow-in-Furness City's Cheikh Mamouni made it 2-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Chamseddine Bitat was left in no man's land by his defense there! Windlesham's Chamseddine Bitat played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Abderrahmane Aribi in the 58th minute of play. Barrow-in-Furness City's defense didn't have a chance, in the 59th minute, when Badaz Mezghenna scored to the left of an out of position Mohamed El Ouazzani, making the score, 2-4. When Barrow-in-Furness City's Abderrahmane Aribi in the 63rd minute got a chance for a shot 63rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Windlesham's goalie prevented a goal. The audience was convinced that Cheikh Mamouni's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Chamseddine Bitat was relentless in the 67th minute of the game. Barrow-in-Furness City's Abderrahmane Aribi got a good chance for a goal in the 69th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 70 played minutes Windlesham got a freekick which was hit by Ahmis Boukensa. Cheikh Mamouni fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Chamseddine Bitat having to interfere. The supporters of Windlesham booed when Barrow-in-Furness City was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position. Semah Belkheir didn't get a good kick on the ball. Badaz Mezghenna took the ball and in the 76 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mohamed El Ouazzani. Mohamed El Ouazzani dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-5. When Cheikh Mamouni came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the Barrow-in-Furness City fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Cheikh Mamouni couldn't finish the play. When the match had gone on for 89 minutes, Badaz Mezghenna took a quick shot and it went in 2-6 without a chance for Mohamed El Ouazzani to make any attempt to save it. 95 minutes into the match, Badaz Mezghenna dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Mohamed El Ouazzani, 2-7.
