Sandy Park
Spectators: 6732 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1732, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mouloud Saïb kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the match, Sandy's goal looked a bit too open when Mouloud Saïb came free, but Meziane Dziri reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The supporters of Nailsworth booed when Sandy was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bahasz Chaouchi didn't get a good kick on the ball. Boughera Souibes was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 18th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After having played for 28 minutes, Madin Benhabiles managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sandy's supporters crossed their fingers, but Madin Benhabiles was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Abdessalem Bendali fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Meziane Dziri having to interfere. Madin Benhabiles was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 33rd minute. Sandy's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 34th minute, Abdelmoumen Benichou 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. In the 35th minute Madin Benhabiles shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bekathen Morceli saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Madin Benhabiles might have been able to make a better finish in the 38th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bekathen Morceli. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Madin Benhabiles ran back to his position shaking his head. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Abdelhakim Guechtouli hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. Mouloud Saïb sent away a hard shot on goal in the 56th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Aberkane Sellal charged in rather forcefully in the 57th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Aberkane Sellal the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.
