The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Chams Teissier was the one to do the kick off.

The referee ignored Great Yarmouth's protests and gave Lakhdar Belfaa a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Great Yarmouth's Lakhdar Belfaa got a free kick in the 53rd minute. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Chams Teissier in the 54th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Abdellatif Boukensa prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Ali Chedda received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute.
