Spectators: 6766 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1766, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Wali Alioui took the kick off in the first half of the match. Hilal Khayri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 13th minute. Salaheddine Farras tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Nadir Zaza came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the Ksar-el-Kebir 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 Nadir Zaza couldn't finish the play. If Wali Alioui had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
