Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Ziad Rodesli scored 0-1 in the 4th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Affi Mammeri, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Hafid Fergani sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Aziz Bahari received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Daoud Ziani tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 12 minutes into the match, Hassen Cherrad notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Walcote City's Daoud Ziani. Daoud Ziani was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a rather tough play, Tottington's Hassen Cherrad got a free kick in the 16th minute. Aziz Bahari blasted a shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Daoud Ziani having to make a save. In the 21st minute, Lakhdar Mezghenna hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 22 minutes into the match, Walcote City's goalkeeper Daoud Ziani had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Moussa Mecherara. After a rather tough play, Tottington's Moussa Mecherara got a free kick in the 23rd minute. After 24 played minutes, Walcote City's Belaid Nekkar shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Affi Mammeri came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Walcote City reached it. Tottington's Hocine Beaufort shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 28th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Daoud Ziani but with some difficulty. Daoud Ziani showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hafid Fergani in the 31st minute of the match. Hafid Fergani recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 35th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Djamel Benali received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Affi Mammeri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Tottington's zone, Djamel Benali stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Affi Mammeri came out of the goal and Djamel Benali tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Hafid Fergani was the one to do the kick off. After 52 played minutes Tottington got a freekick which was hit by Aziz Bahari. Djamel Benali struck a weak shot in the 54th minute. Affi Mammeri didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Walcote City. If Ziad Rodesli had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 62nd minute Hafid Fergani shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Daoud Ziani saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Djamel Benali received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Affi Mammeri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Aziz Bahari received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Daoud Ziani tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Aziz Bahari fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Daoud Ziani having to interfere. After 74 minutes, Ismet Daoud mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Walcote City and the Tottington players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 74th match minute, Walcote City was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ismet Daoud to maneuver through the defense. In the 76th minute, Hafid Fergani 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. Ziad Rodesli fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Affi Mammeri having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Djamel Benali managed to get in a good position for a shot. Walcote City's supporters rose to their feet, but Djamel Benali was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Affi Mammeri breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Djamel Benali had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 89th minute, Ziad Rodesli ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Affi Mammeri was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. Walcote City's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
