Spectators: 6710 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1710, VIP seats: 0) Djamel Mecherara made the kick off and thus started the match. Abdelhamid Bridji scored 1-0 in the 4th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Nadir Guendouz, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The audience was convinced that Djamel Mecherara's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Nadir Guendouz was relentless in the 12th minute of the game. 20 minutes into the match, Sheboygan's goal looked a bit too open when Abderaouf Ziani came free, but Mehdi Belaout reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 22nd minute, Ahmed Amri left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Richardson FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. After some careless play in the Sheboygan defense, Ahmed Amri kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Mehdi Belaout. The Sheboygan fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Mehdi Belaout should have stopped the shot. Djamel Mecherara fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nadir Guendouz having to interfere. Mehdi Belaout took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ahmed Amri, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Abderaouf Ziani's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mehdi Belaout read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 35th minute of play. Abdelhamid Bridji sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

After the first half Richardson FC were leading 1-2. 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 Ahmed Amri to strike the kick off in the second half. Mehdi Belaout showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ahmed Amri in the 53rd minute of the match. In the 55th minute the ball was on its way in behind Richardson FC's goalkeeper Nadir Guendouz, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. A collision led to Richardson FC getting a freekick after 56 minutes play.

Djamel Mecherara fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nadir Guendouz having to interfere. If Djamel Mecherara had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Khair ad-Din Hamouda kicked well hit freekick during the 96th minute of the match. Farid Mansouri might have been able to make a better finish in the 97th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nadir Guendouz. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Farid Mansouri ran back to his position shaking his head.
