The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 15 minutes into the game, Forestbrook AFC's Hemza Brahimi nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot.

The Forestbrook AFC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hemza Brahimi in the 26th minute of play forced Seneca's goalkeeper Ben Belaout to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 28 played minutes, Seneca's Ahmed Hadj Aïssa shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Amrani Amirouche came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Seneca reached it. Ahmed Hamouda kicked well hit freekick during the 33rd minute of the match. After having played for 35 minutes, El Beloufa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Seneca's supporters crossed their fingers, but El Beloufa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Fodil Soltani got free with Amrani Amirouche in the 42nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Maamar Tahar to make the kick off.
