Prairie View's El Madjer played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Amar Belkacem in the 12th minute of play. 15 minutes into the game, Amar Belkacem cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. El Madjer was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Robert Benarbia kicked well hit freekick during the 21st minute of the match. In the 23rd minute Nassim Kharroubi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but El Madjer saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 24 minutes into the match, Minden's Amar Belkacem sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that El Madjer narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Prairie View's El Madjer played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nassim Kharroubi in the 25th minute of play. After 30 minutes, Abderraouf Rimitti mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Prairie View and the Minden players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 30th match minute, Prairie View was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Abderraouf Rimitti to maneuver through the defense. Nassim Kharroubi struck a weak shot in the 35th minute. El Madjer didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Minden. Amar Belkacem received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. El Madjer tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. El Madjer made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nassim Kharroubi in the 39th minute of play. After the first half Minden were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Nassim Kharroubi to strike the kick off in the second half. With a little luck, Prairie View's El Madjer got control of the ball when Amar Belkacem tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 61st minute Nassim Kharroubi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but El Madjer saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Prairie View booed when Minden was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 62 match minutes in a wonderful position. Larbi Moussa didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Prairie View's zone, Amar Belkacem stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. El Madjer came out of the goal and Amar Belkacem tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Tayeb Mohand had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nassim Kharroubi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 76 played minutes Minden got a freekick which was hit by Kateb Djahnine. Prairie View's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Hamid Merzekane in the 80th minute. Cheb Hima thought of kicking away a contribution in front of goal but messed it up so badly that the ball went to the right of an astonished Hamid Boutabout, a very annoying self made goal in the 81st minute which led to 1-1. In the 90th minute, Minden's Nassim Kharroubi ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind El Madjer. El Madjer yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-3. The Minden players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
