Spectators: 6736 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Malek Morceli took the kick off in the first half of the match. Madin Benhabiles received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Massoud Abdenouz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 5th minute, Alcester FC's Gad Lacen seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Gad Lacen the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Alcester FC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Gad Lacen had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 4th minute, one of Alcester FC:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Alcester FC. After some careless play in the Sandy defense, Djamel Assous kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Meziane Dziri. The Sandy fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Meziane Dziri should have stopped the shot. Massoud Abdenouz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abdelmoumen Benichou in the 21st minute of the match. Bahasz Chaouchi kicked well hit freekick during the 23rd minute of the match. In the 27th minute, Madin Benhabiles left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Sandy fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-2. With a little luck, Sandy's Meziane Dziri got control of the ball when Djamel Assous tried to sneak it across the goal line. Massoud Abdenouz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Madin Benhabiles, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 47 minutes into the match, Alcester FC's goal looked a bit too open when Madin Benhabiles came free, but Massoud Abdenouz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Madin Benhabiles was the one to do the kick off. If Abdelmoumen Benichou had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 51st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Abdelmoumen Benichou's late challenge caught a Alcester FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Abdelmoumen Benichou helped the player get up and apologised. Tayeb Belaout took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 62nd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Massoud Abdenouz. Alcester FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Djamel Assous sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Khalida Bestandji in the 70th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Meziane Dziri prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 72nd minute, Djamel Assous got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Djamel Assous fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Meziane Dziri having to interfere. Abdelmoumen Benichou succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-3 in the 81st playminute. In the 93rd minute, Sandy's Abdelmoumen Benichou dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-4. Sandy's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
