Penistone Park
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Slimane Zaccari kicked off to start the match. Dolton's Abdelbassir Saâdallah got a good chance for a goal in the 11th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Slimane Zaccari received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Camil Ziani tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Slimane Zaccari's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Camil Ziani was relentless in the 23rd minute of the game. 25 minutes into the match, Penistone City's Slimane Zaccari sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Camil Ziani narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Mehdi Mohamed took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cheikh Kateb, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 30th minute the ball was on its way in behind Dolton's goalkeeper Camil Ziani, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 33rd minute, Abdelbassir Saâdallah managed to get in a good position for a shot. Dolton's supporters rose to their feet, but Abdelbassir Saâdallah was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Mehdi Mohamed breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Camil Ziani made an important save on a dangerous shot by Rezki Zeghbouche in the 35th minute. In the 38th match minute, Dolton was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Abdel Hamid Malek to maneuver through the defense. The long shot by Reda Saadane in the 39th minute really tested Camil Ziani's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Slimane Zaccari recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 43rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Abdelbassir Saâdallah had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mehdi Mohamed showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cheikh Kateb in the 48th minute of the match. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Abdelbassir Saâdallah made a kick off. Rezki Zeghbouche might have been able to make a better finish in the 55th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Camil Ziani. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Rezki Zeghbouche ran back to his position shaking his head. Penistone City's Mehdi Mohamed proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 60th minute of the match, managed to save Penistone City from getting a goal against them. If Slimane Zaccari had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Camil Ziani stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Rezki Zeghbouche's shot from short distance in the 68th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Slimane Zaccari in the 71st minute of play forced Dolton's goalkeeper Camil Ziani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Cheikh Kateb came up free with the goalie in the 73rd minute, the Dolton 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 Cheikh Kateb couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rezki Zeghbouche in the 76th minute of play forced Dolton's goalkeeper Camil Ziani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Giss Oudjani charged in rather forcefully in the 77th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Giss Oudjani the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Dolton's Giss Oudjani got a free kick in the 77th minute. The audience was convinced that Slimane Zaccari's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Camil Ziani was relentless in the 79th minute of the game. In the 84th minute Abdelbassir Saâdallah shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mehdi Mohamed saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Camil Ziani took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mohand Kermali, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Cheikh Kateb received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 94th minute. Mehdi Mohamed tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Mohand Kermali during the 95th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card.
