Spectators: 6766 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1766, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Khaldoun Ghanem started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Hockley United's goal looked a bit too open when Khaldoun Ghanem came free, but Tahar Dahmane reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Rayan Makkeb charged in rather forcefully in the 11th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Rayan Makkeb the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Hockley United's Rayan Makkeb got a free kick in the 12th minute. Idriss Daouadji kicked well hit freekick during the 14th minute of the match. The Hockley United fans' excitement grew in the 23rd match minute when Hockley United's Abdelhafid Bestandji looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. In the 29th minute, Abdelhafid Bestandji 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.

Jabar Saïfi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 48th minute. Araslane Morceli tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

If Buzid Akvayli had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Khaldoun Ghanem took the ball and in the 54 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Tahar Dahmane. Tahar Dahmane dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. A collision led to Chudleigh getting a freekick after 57 minutes play. Ghalib Ahmed hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Buzid Akvayli in the 60th minute of play forced Hockley United's goalkeeper Tahar Dahmane to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 66th play minutes Kheireddine Asma shot 2-2, a short shot which went by Araslane Morceli and just under the crossbar into goal. Tahar Dahmane made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Buzid Akvayli in the 71st minute of play. Tahar Dahmane took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Buzid Akvayli, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Buzid Akvayli might have been able to make a better finish in the 76th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tahar Dahmane. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Buzid Akvayli ran back to his position shaking his head. After a defensive mix-up in Hockley United's zone, Khaldoun Ghanem stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Tahar Dahmane came out of the goal and Khaldoun Ghanem tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

The match ended in a draw.
