The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. After some fancy dribbling in the 6th minute, Faudel Matoub managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ferryton's supporters rose to their feet, but Faudel Matoub was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Achik Saïd breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sayed Bouzid in the 9th minute of play forced Ferryton's goalkeeper Akim Bahari to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Ishak Maâti came up free with the goalie in the 11th minute, the Croston 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 Ishak Maâti couldn't finish the play. The audience was convinced that Karim Saïdani's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Achik Saïd was relentless in the 14th minute of the game.

The wind increased when Sayed Bouzid made the kick off in the second half. Akim Bahari stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Ishak Maâti's shot from short distance in the 58th minute.
