But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ali Chedda couldn't finish the play.

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

Ali Chedda sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ali Chedda received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Dassi Bedrina tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Chedli Benattia's late challenge caught a JS Kabylie's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Chedli Benattia helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Leamington Spa's Chedli Benattia got a free kick in the 66th minute. Abdelkrim Zidane received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Badis Benzine tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

In the 77th minute the ball was on its way in behind JS Kabylie's goalkeeper Dassi Bedrina, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Dassi Bedrina showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Chams Teissier, who was totally free with the ball in the 79th minute. Chams Teissier might have been able to make a better finish in the 82nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Dassi Bedrina. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Chams Teissier ran back to his position shaking his head.

The corner led Leamington Spa's Mustapha Amara to fire away a dangerous shot which Dassi Bedrina despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Rafik Tayebi hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. The attack was good, but when Chams Teissier in the 90th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. After 91 played minutes JS Kabylie got a freekick which was hit by Abderrahim Djebbour. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Chams Teissier in the 95th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Dassi Bedrina saved JS Kabylie from getting behind. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
