Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Menad Zaoui started the match with the kick off. Ahmed Mamouni kicked well hit freekick during the 7th minute of the match. In the 12th minute, Rafik Zoheir Kheyari hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nouara Khelaifia stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Rafik Zoheir Kheyari's shot from short distance in the 22nd minute. After a rather tough play, Durant FC's Hameur Bensaïd got a free kick in the 33rd minute. In the 34th minute of the match Hemza Zaaf shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Nouara Khelaifia showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After 40th play minutes Jussef Ulansi shot 2-1, a short shot which went by Kasdi Fergani and just under the crossbar into goal. Nouara Khelaifia was a little too slow when Menad Zaoui got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 47th minute. The score was now 3-1. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Jussef Ulansi stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 58 minutes into the match, Durant FC's goal looked a bit too open when Souad Kharroubi came free, but Nouara Khelaifia reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Kasdi Fergani made an important save on a dangerous shot by Kamel Matmour in the 60th minute. Kamel Matmour received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 61st minute. Kasdi Fergani tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nouara Khelaifia made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Menad Zaoui in the 67th minute of play. 68 minutes into the game, Madjid Medjiba was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Durant FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave East Sandwich AFC the free kick. After a rather tough play, Durant FC's Madjid Medjiba got a free kick in the 69th minute. Nouara Khelaifia took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Souad Kharroubi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Kamel Matmour struck a weak shot in the 72nd minute. Kasdi Fergani didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Durant FC. Jussef Ulansi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kasdi Fergani having to interfere. A collision led to East Sandwich AFC getting a freekick after 76 minutes play. Mohammad Merbah hit a great ball. The audience was convinced that Jussef Ulansi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Kasdi Fergani was relentless in the 80th minute of the game. If Souad Kharroubi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nouara Khelaifia showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Menad Zaoui in the 85th minute of the match. After 87 minutes, Hemza Zaaf mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the East Sandwich AFC and the Durant FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 87 played minutes East Sandwich AFC got a freekick which was hit by Hemza Zaaf. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jussef Ulansi in the 89th minute of play forced East Sandwich AFC's goalkeeper Kasdi Fergani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 92 minutes of play, East Sandwich AFC's Menad Zaoui made it 4-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Nouara Khelaifia was left in no man's land by his defense there! East Sandwich AFC's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
