Spectators: 6728 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1728, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Safy Raï kicked off to start the match. In the 3rdth minute of the game Fodil Djebar who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Dumas's Rachid Djebbour was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Safy Raï received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Fateh Lamine tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 16th minute, Cherif El-Ouafi ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Rachid Djebbour was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ahmed Belaout in the 23rd minute of play forced North Arlington's goalkeeper Fateh Lamine to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ahmed Belaout recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 25th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Fateh Lamine took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Safy Raï, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Fateh Lamine made a fantastic save in the 28th minute, when Ahmed Belaout sent off a good shot on target. With a little luck, North Arlington's Fateh Lamine got control of the ball when Ahmed Belaout tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 31 played minutes North Arlington got a freekick which was hit by Kamel Hima. Fateh Lamine was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 38th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Fodil Sami Yachir. After a rather tough play, Dumas's Abdel Hamid Hamdani got a free kick in the 41st minute. In the 46th minute the ball was on its way in behind North Arlington's goalkeeper Fateh Lamine, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Kamel Hima had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half North Arlington were leading 0-2. 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 Fodil Djebar to strike the kick off in the second half. Safy Raï struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. Fateh Lamine didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Dumas. Ahmed Belaout fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fateh Lamine having to interfere. Fodil Djebar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A hard shot 70 in the game by Cherif El-Ouafi from a close distance when the talented Rachid Djebbour managed to make a qualified save. Dumas's players were relieved. With a little luck, Dumas's Rachid Djebbour got control of the ball when Cherif El-Ouafi tried to sneak it across the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as Cherif El-Ouafi kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Rachid Djebbour. That made the score 0-3 in the 76 minute of play. In the 78th match minute, Dumas was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ali Hamdani to maneuver through the defense. After a rather tough play, North Arlington's Fodil Djebar got a free kick in the 82nd minute. After 85 minutes, Mohamed Badis mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the North Arlington and the Dumas players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Dumas booed when North Arlington was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 85 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mohamed Badis didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rachid Djebbour showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Fodil Djebar in the 91st minute of the match. When Abdel Hamid Hamdani was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 94 minutes had been played. Abdel Hamid Hamdani hit a great freekick 95 minutes into the match.
