Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Zīn ud-Dīn Benzine took the kick off in the first half of the match. Mohammed Ahmed Meriem was out of position in the 4 minute of play, and Abd al-Aziz Madani capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Abd al-Aziz Madani really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. The audience was convinced that Zīn ud-Dīn Benzine's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mohammed Ahmed Meriem was relentless in the 7th minute of the game. After 8 played minutes Yuma AFC got a freekick which was hit by Hicham Madouni. Abd al-Aziz Madani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Mohammed Ahmed Meriem tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 13 minutes, Hamid Benyamina managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Yuma AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hamid Benyamina was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 16th minute Antoine Belmadi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Karim Amara saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Hachemi Bedjaoui sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mohammed Ahmed Meriem showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zīn ud-Dīn Benzine, who was totally free with the ball in the 22nd minute. In the 28th minute, Faraz FC's Zīn ud-Dīn Benzine dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-0.

Yuma AFC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 63 minutes into the match, Zīn ud-Dīn Benzine had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Mohammed Ahmed Meriem. Yuma AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Zīn ud-Dīn Benzine was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-1. If Antoine Belmadi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
