East Hanover
Spectators: 6703 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1703, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Hameur Abdenouz kicked off to start the match. In the 7th minute Hameur Abdenouz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kader Boulmerka saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to South Beach FC getting a freekick after 9 minutes play. Liamine Saïdi-Sief hit a great ball. Abdel Brahami made a fantastic save in the 11th minute, when Nourredine Moussa sent off a good shot on target. Cheb Ben Khalidi hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. In the 17th minute Hameur Abdenouz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kader Boulmerka saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as East Hanover's Chadli Sadmi slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Abdel Brahami. That made the score 1-0 after 18 minutes of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Billel Horr in the 22nd minute of play forced East Hanover's goalkeeper Kader Boulmerka to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 23 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for East Hanover! Liamine Saïdi-Sief placed the ball on the penalty spot and got himself ready to shoot. Post out! Hicham Benyamina charged in rather forcefully in the 30th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Hicham Benyamina the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of South Beach FC booed when East Hanover was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 31 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hicham Benyamina didn't get a good kick on the ball. 39 minutes into the match, Hameur Abdenouz had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Kader Boulmerka. East Hanover's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Hameur Abdenouz was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. In the 42nd minute, Kateb Meskine hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Chadli Sadmi was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 48th minute. East Hanover's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Chadli Sadmi to strike the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the game, Robert Bezzaz was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. South Beach FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave East Hanover the free kick. After a rather tough play, South Beach FC's Robert Bezzaz got a free kick in the 53rd minute. After 56 minutes of play, East Hanover's Nourredine Moussa made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Abdel Brahami was left in no man's land by his defense there! The referee gave South Beach FC a penalty, 62 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Liamine Saïdi-Sief, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of East Hanover's Kader Boulmerka. 2-2. 68 minutes into the match, Nourredine Moussa notched a goal, 3-2, to the right of South Beach FC's Abdel Brahami. Abdel Brahami was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When Robert Bezzaz was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 76 minutes had been played. In the 79th minute Chadli Sadmi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abdel Brahami saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in East Hanover's zone, Billel Horr stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Kader Boulmerka came out of the goal and Billel Horr tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Hameur Abdenouz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Kader Boulmerka tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Billel Horr had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 87th minute, Mehdi Moussa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Abdel Brahami showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nourredine Moussa in the 94th minute of the match. Nourredine Moussa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 100th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. East Hanover were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of South Beach FC for a fine match.
