Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Ahmed Reda Saïdi-Sief got the match started through his kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Atlantic City AFC's goalkeeper Nadir Bensaïd had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Smail Madouni. Ahmed Aliche received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Nadir Bensaïd tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hocine Rahouli in the 8th minute of play forced Fallston's goalkeeper François Boufroura to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 9th minute the ball was on its way in behind Fallston's goalkeeper François Boufroura, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Sofiane Boukensa's late challenge caught a Fallston's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sofiane Boukensa helped the player get up and apologised. Hocine Rahouli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Hocine Rahouli's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but François Boufroura read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 20th minute of play. 22 minutes into the match, Abdelhani Brahmi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of François Boufroura. Fallston's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Abdelhani Brahmi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Ahmed Reda Saïdi-Sief struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. François Boufroura didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Atlantic City AFC. 33 minutes into the match, Atlantic City AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Bellemou Abdi came free, but Nadir Bensaïd reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Abdelnacer Medjoudj fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nadir Bensaïd having to interfere. If Edmond Daham had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 47th minute, Hocine Rahouli managed to get in a good position for a shot. Atlantic City AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Hocine Rahouli was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. François Boufroura breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Bellemou Abdi was the one to do the kick off. After having played for 52 minutes, Ahmed Reda Saïdi-Sief managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Atlantic City AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ahmed Reda Saïdi-Sief was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Hocine Rahouli blasted a shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without François Boufroura having to make a save. Hocine Rahouli who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 57thth minute tested the skills of François Boufroura when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Ahmed Reda Saïdi-Sief received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. François Boufroura tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 69th minute Abdelhani Brahmi suffered a foot injury and had to be helped off the field. When Noureddine Messaoud fell near the penalty area in the 69th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Fallston's protests and gave Noureddine Messaoud a yellow card for diving instead. After 70 played minutes Fallston got a freekick which was hit by Noureddine Messaoud. Hocine Rahouli in the 72ndth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of François Boufroura, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Edmond Daham recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 85th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 89 minutes into the match, Hocine Rahouli dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of François Boufroura, 0-2. Hocine Rahouli struck a weak shot in the 93rd minute. François Boufroura didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Atlantic City AFC. Atlantic City AFC played a much better game than Fallston and deserved their victory. The Fallston players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
