Trimley Park
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Achir Lkbira made the kick off which started today's match. Abdelkarim Djenia scored 1-0 in the 3rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Idriss Chebal, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 6 played minutes Trimley FC got a freekick which was hit by Zakaria Lourdjane. Houd Boudiaf made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Achir Lkbira in the 8th minute of play. Hassen Yahi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Idriss Chebal having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hassen Yahi in the 11th minute of play forced Snailbeach and Stiperstones City's goalkeeper Idriss Chebal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Lakhdar Hima could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 13th minute of the match, but Idriss Chebal made a huge save. After some fancy dribbling in the 14th minute, Hassen Yahi managed to get in a good position for a shot. Trimley FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Hassen Yahi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Idriss Chebal breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Achir Lkbira in the 18th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Houd Boudiaf saved Trimley FC from getting behind. Bachir Benali recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 25th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Snailbeach and Stiperstones City's zone, Lakhdar Hima stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Idriss Chebal came out of the goal and Lakhdar Hima tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 32nd minute, Lakhdar Hima made a precise shot to the right of Idriss Chebal. Snailbeach and Stiperstones City's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-0. If Hassen Yahi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 38th minute, Bachir Benali got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Mohamed Souakri kicked well hit freekick during the 42nd minute of the match. Af the end of the first half the score was 2-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Hassen Yahi stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After having played for 53 minutes, Hassen Yahi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Trimley FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hassen Yahi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 55th minute the ball was on its way in behind Snailbeach and Stiperstones City's goalkeeper Idriss Chebal, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Houd Boudiaf made an important save on a dangerous shot by Bachir Benali in the 57th minute. Lakhdar Hima struck a weak shot in the 61st minute. Idriss Chebal didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Trimley FC. After some fancy dribbling in the 64th minute, Bachir Benali managed to get in a good position for a shot. Snailbeach and Stiperstones City's supporters rose to their feet, but Bachir Benali was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Houd Boudiaf breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Houd Boudiaf took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Achir Lkbira, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Idriss Chebal showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hassen Yahi in the 77th minute of the match. In the 79th minute, Achir Lkbira reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Houd Boudiaf. The goal made the score 2-1. Bachir Benali received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 87th minute. Houd Boudiaf tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Hassen Yahi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Soltani Raho fell near the penalty area in the 93rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Snailbeach and Stiperstones City's protests and gave Soltani Raho a yellow card for diving instead. Soltani Raho hit a great freekick 93 minutes into the match.
