Spectators: 6736 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Youssef Rostom kicked off to start the match. In the 11th match minute, Bletchingley United was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Shuaibu Sboui to maneuver through the defense. The corner ended in Caid Sfar almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Bletchingley United's Mahmoud Saada did a great save. After 15 minutes, Hocine Saidi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Newcastle-upon-Tyne AFC and the Bletchingley United players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Newcastle-upon-Tyne AFC's Hocine Saidi got a free kick in the 15th minute. Khaled Baly received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Laamari Benzekri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 26th minute, Caid Sfar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Mahmoud Saada showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Youssef Rostom, who was totally free with the ball in the 45th minute. 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.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Moez Melliti made a kick off. A collision led to Bletchingley United getting a freekick after 69 minutes play. Radhi Nouira hit a great ball. The audience was convinced that Youssef Rostom's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mahmoud Saada was relentless in the 70th minute of the game. After having played for 73 minutes, Moez Melliti managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bletchingley United's supporters crossed their fingers, but Moez Melliti was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Laamari Benzekri made a fantastic save in the 76th minute, when Taieb Ladgham sent off a good shot on target. Khaled Baly fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Laamari Benzekri having to interfere. When the match clock showed 83 minutes, the score became 1-0 when Adel Djait sped through Bletchingley United's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Mahmoud Saada. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adel Djait in the 90th minute of play forced Bletchingley United's goalkeeper Mahmoud Saada to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 94th minute, Newcastle-upon-Tyne AFC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Moez Melliti fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Bletchingley United's supporters were dissatisfied at the end of the match because Newcastle-upon-Tyne AFC had won, even though Bletchingley United had held more of the ball.
