Spectators: 6696 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1696, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nabil Kourichi kicked off to start the match. After 3 minutes, Smail Fadela mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Madill and the Run Away MZT players grew even worse after the yellow card. Smail Fadela hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. Abdel El-Hadi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nabil Kourichi, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. Abdel El-Hadi came out of the goal in the 6th minute to try and stop a shot by Run Away MZT's Nabil Kourichi. But to his dismay, Nabil Kourichi quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Abdel El-Hadi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Muhammad Ziani, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 17 minutes into the match, Run Away MZT's Nabil Kourichi sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Abdel El-Hadi narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Abdel El-Hadi showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nabil Kourichi in the 22nd minute of the match. Abdel El-Hadi made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Muhammad Ziani in the 29th minute of play. If Nabil Kourichi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ali Lacen 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 having played for 43 minutes, Nabil Kourichi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Run Away MZT's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nabil Kourichi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After the first half Run Away MZT were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Smail Fadela was the one to do the kick off. Abdel El-Hadi made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nabil Kourichi in the 54th minute of play. Muhammad Ziani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 56th minute. Abdel El-Hadi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mounir Hima sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Muhammad Ziani had several of the Madill's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 65 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 0-2 score and a disappointed Abdel El-Hadi as he didn't even see the shot coming. In the 74th minute, Run Away MZT's Nabil Kourichi ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Abdel El-Hadi. Abdel El-Hadi yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 0-4. Abdel El-Hadi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nabil Kourichi, who was totally free with the ball in the 90th minute. Nabil Kourichi struck a weak shot in the 91st minute. Abdel El-Hadi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Run Away MZT. In the 92nd minute, Smail Fadela hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 97 minutes into the match, Madill's goalkeeper Abdel El-Hadi had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Muhammad Ziani. When the match was over Run Away MZT could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Madill throughout the match.
