Spectators: 7432 (Terracing: 5575, Seating: 1709, VIP seats: 148) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Anther Menad made the kick off which started today's match. When Fodil Dahleb came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Redlands 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 Fodil Dahleb couldn't finish the play.

A collision led to Redlands getting a freekick after 18 minutes play. Mourad Derrida hit a great ball.

In the 31st minute Anther Menad shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Khalida Boniche saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Khalida Boniche showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Anther Menad, who was totally free with the ball in the 38th minute. When Mourad Derrida fell near the penalty area in the 39th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Redlands's protests and gave Mourad Derrida a yellow card for diving instead. Anther Menad sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Cherif Khelaifia to make the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 53rd minute, Fodil Dahleb managed to get in a good position for a shot. Redlands's supporters rose to their feet, but Fodil Dahleb was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Hemza Benyamina breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 60 minutes into the match, Redlands's goal looked a bit too open when Anther Menad came free, but Khalida Boniche reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Khalida Boniche made a fantastic save in the 67th minute, when Djamel Mezair sent off a good shot on target.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Anther Menad in the 79th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Khalida Boniche saved Redlands from getting behind. In the 89th minute, Redlands's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Djamel Mezair fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Djamel Mezair was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 91st minute. Bel Air's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 97 minutes into the match, Redlands's goal looked a bit too open when Anther Menad came free, but Khalida Boniche reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
