In the 5th minute, Hameur Moussa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Cherif Iles recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 11th minute.

After having played for 12 minutes, Cherif Iles managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Temple City's supporters crossed their fingers, but Cherif Iles was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Temple City's zone, Mourad Doutté stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Yacine Ihidjaten came out of the goal and Mourad Doutté tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Hameur Moussa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yacine Ihidjaten having to interfere.

Temple City's supporters rose to their feet, but Cherif Iles was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

After a defensive mix-up in The King Football Manger's zone, Cherif Iles stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Yacine Ihidjaten took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mourad Doutté, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 82 minutes into the match, Temple City's goal looked a bit too open when Hameur Moussa came free, but Yacine Ihidjaten reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After some fancy dribbling in the 93rd minute, Mourad Doutté managed to get in a good position for a shot. The King Football Manger's supporters rose to their feet, but Mourad Doutté was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Temple City played a much better game than The King Football Manger and deserved their victory. The The King Football Manger players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
