After some fancy dribbling in the 37th minute, Aziz Chaib managed to get in a good position for a shot. MILLON's supporters rose to their feet, but Aziz Chaib was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Arsalane Aboulker breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Aziz Chaib made a kick off. In the 53rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Nelson Mandela's goalkeeper Arsalane Aboulker, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 56 minutes into the match, Nelson Mandela's goal looked a bit too open when Djamel Belloumi came free, but Arsalane Aboulker reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Amine Baali sent away a hard shot on goal in the 57th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Aziz Chaib fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arsalane Aboulker having to interfere. Aziz Chaib took the ball and in the 66 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Arsalane Aboulker. Arsalane Aboulker dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. 69 minutes into the match, Aziz Chaib notched a goal, 2-0, to the right of Nelson Mandela's Arsalane Aboulker. Arsalane Aboulker was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 83rdth minute of the game Aziz Chaib who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Nelson Mandela's Arsalane Aboulker was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Rachid Ghoumari received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Arsalane Aboulker tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Amine Baali received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Balwa Labi came out and tried to block the shot, but Amine Baali slotted it home off the left post making it 4-1 in the 87th minute. When Slimane Belmadi fell near the penalty area in the 90th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Nelson Mandela's protests and gave Slimane Belmadi a yellow card for diving instead. Nelson Mandela's Ilyes Menad got a good chance for a goal in the 94th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. An unexpected shot in the 96th minute by Ilyes Menad got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. For all the effort they put into the match, the Nelson Mandela players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for MILLON.
