Spectators: 6730 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1730, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Bahnini Ahmed kicked off to start the match. In the 7th minute the ball was on its way in behind Ealing AFC's goalkeeper Kheireddine Kherchi, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After taking down the ball on Yeovil's corner Salah Benali fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Kheireddine Kherchi quite easily take care of the ball. Hachemi Amrouche received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Kheireddine Kherchi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 15th minute, Yamine Bedroni managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ealing AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Yamine Bedroni was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Abdelhakim Azzizi-Kettab breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 21st minute, Yamine Bedroni 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, Ziad Allahoum left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Yeovil fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. Ghiles Kouidri hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. The supporters of Ealing AFC booed when Yeovil was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 39 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mekki Fadela didn't get a good kick on the ball. Kamel Reddad, 40 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Abdelhakim Azzizi-Kettab came out of the goal in the 42nd minute to try and stop a shot by Ealing AFC's Yamine Bedroni. But to his dismay, Yamine Bedroni quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1. In the 48th minute Ziad Allahoum shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kheireddine Kherchi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Abdelhakim Azzizi-Kettab made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Yamine Bedroni in the 74th minute of play.
