Spectators: 6527 (Terracing: 5527, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Abd al-Aziz Benflis started the match with the kick off. Belaid Larbes struck a weak shot in the 4th minute. Abd el Ziani didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Jasmine Estates. Issaquah's Abd el Ziani played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nadir Achiu in the 7th minute of play. In the 9th minute, Abd al-Aziz Benflis ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Noureddine Medjoudj was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Noureddine Medjoudj made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Noureddine Maroc in the 23rd minute of play. In the 24th minute the ball was on its way in behind Jasmine Estates's goalkeeper Noureddine Medjoudj, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Abderaouf Aggoune in the 30th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Abd el Ziani saved Issaquah from getting behind. When Issaquah's Noureddine Maroc in the 32nd minute got a chance for a shot 32nd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Jasmine Estates's goalie prevented a goal. Noureddine Medjoudj showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abd al-Aziz Benflis in the 35th minute of the match. When Abd al-Aziz Benflis came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Issaquah fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Abd al-Aziz Benflis couldn't finish the play. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Abderaouf Aggoune to make the kick off. In the 54th minute, Abd al-Aziz Benflis fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Noureddine Medjoudj, passed just outside the right post. After 55 played minutes Jasmine Estates got a freekick which was hit by Adlène Sadmi. In the 59th minute, Nadir Achiu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Noureddine Marocs short, quick shot in the 64thth minute got Noureddine Medjoudj to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 68th minute Abd al-Aziz Benflis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Noureddine Medjoudj saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Belaid Larbes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Noureddine Maroc struck a weak shot in the 76th minute. Noureddine Medjoudj didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Issaquah.

Noureddine Maroc received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Noureddine Medjoudj tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Jasmine Estates's Nadir Achiu got a free kick in the 80th minute. 84 minutes into the match, Abd al-Aziz El-Kenz notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Jasmine Estates's Noureddine Medjoudj. Noureddine Medjoudj was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a rather tough play, Issaquah's Noureddine Maroc got a free kick in the 87th minute. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy.
