Mirfield Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Abdelatif Boumezrag kicked off to start the match. Ali Cherif didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Said El Ouafi went, in the 3rd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. The audience was convinced that Said El Ouafi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ali Cherif was relentless in the 6th minute of the game. When Ahmed Akrour came up free with the goalie in the 12th minute, the Abdou FC 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 Ahmed Akrour couldn't finish the play. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Said El Ouafi in the 15th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Ali Cherif prevented the ball from getting in the gole. When Bazil Ouadah fell near the penalty area in the 21st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Abdou FC's protests and gave Bazil Ouadah a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Abdou FC getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Bazil Ouadah hit a great ball. Lamine Abdelghani charged in rather forcefully in the 27th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Lamine Abdelghani the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Lamine Abdelghani hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. 28 minutes into the match, F.C. RASF's goal looked a bit too open when Ahmed Akrour came free, but Ali Cherif reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in F.C. RASF's zone, Ahmed Akrour stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ali Cherif came out of the goal and Ahmed Akrour tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience was convinced that Said El Ouafi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ali Cherif was relentless in the 31st minute of the game. Abdelatif Boumezrag struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Abdelghafour Zeggaï didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for F.C. RASF. After 45 minutes of play F.C. RASF's Lamine Abdelghani was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground.
